Ingredients
Scale
1/2 cup unsalted butter
1 cup white sugar
2 large eggs lightly beaten
⅓ cup whole milk
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
Juice of 1 medium lemon
Zest of 2 large lemons
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 cups fresh blueberries
1 cup cream cheese
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350 F / 176 C and grease a 9×5 inch loaf pan.
In a medium bowl, mix butter and sugar until light and fluffy like a frosting. Add eggs, milk, vanilla, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Combine until evenly incorporated and smooth.
In a large bowl, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Make a well in the middle and pour wet ingredients into the bowl. Mix but don’t over mix.
Gently fold in blueberries and cream cheese. Pour batter into the loaf pan.
Bake in the middle of the oven for 60 to 70 minutes or just until a skewer comes out clean. Cool loaf for 20 minutes in the pan before removing from the mold.
Notes
Make sure the cream cheese is softened for easier mixing.
Use fresh blueberries for the best flavor.
Add a lemon glaze on top for extra sweetness, if desired.
