Preparation
1. Preheat & Prepare Pan
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
Line a loaf pan with parchment paper or grease it lightly.
2. Make the Cream Cheese Filling
In a bowl, combine cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract.
Beat until smooth and creamy. Set aside.
3. Mix the Loaf Batter
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
In a separate large bowl, beat butter, cream cheese, and sugar until fluffy.
Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
Stir in vanilla extract and sour cream.
Gradually fold in the dry ingredients until just combined.
Gently fold in blueberries, being careful not to crush them.
4. Assemble the Loaf
Pour half of the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
Spoon the cream cheese filling evenly over the batter.
Top with the remaining batter and gently swirl with a knife to create a marbled effect.
5. Bake
Bake for 55–65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean (avoid the cream cheese swirl).
Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
🍽 Serving Suggestions
