Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients
  • 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened Helps control salt
  • 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • ¼ cup brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs Room-temp eggs mix better
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup milk
Blueberries
  • 1 ½ cups fresh or frozen blueberries Tossed with 1 tablespoon flour to prevent sinking
Glaze
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2–3 tablespoons milk or cream
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×5-inch loaf pan, or line it with parchment.
  2. Whisk the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl until evenly mixed; set aside.
Mixing Ingredients
  1. Beat butter, cream cheese, granulated sugar, and brown sugar in a large bowl until light and fluffy, about 2–3 minutes.
  2. Add the eggs one at a time, beating until each is incorporated; stir in the vanilla.
  3. Gradually add the dry mix to the wet, alternating with milk; start and end with the dry ingredients, mixing just until combined.
  4. Gently fold in the blueberries dusted with a tablespoon of flour.
Baking
  1. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top.
  2. Bake for 55–65 minutes; a toothpick should come out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
  3. Allow the loaf to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Glazing
  1. Whisk powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla until smooth.
  2. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled loaf and let it set before slicing.

Notes

Time-saver: Use room-temp butter and cream cheese. Common mistake: Overmixing makes a tough loaf; mix only until just combined. Variation: Add ½ teaspoon lemon zest for brightness.
