Key Ingredients for Heavenly Blueberry Cream Cheese Loaf

Here are the simple ingredients you’ll need to whip up your Heavenly Blueberry Cream Cheese Loaf. All items are Halal-friendly and easy to find at your local grocery store:

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 8 oz cream cheese, softened
• 3 large eggs
• 1/2 cup milk
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 1/2 cups fresh blueberries (or frozen, but thawed)
• 1/4 teaspoon salt

Step-by-Step Instructions

Ready to put your baking skills to the test? Here’s how to create the perfect Heavenly Blueberry Cream Cheese Loaf:

1. Preheat Your Oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a standard-sized loaf pan with butter or cooking spray.
2. Mix Cream Cheese and Butter: In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and butter using an electric mixer until they are creamy and well-blended.
3. Add Sugar and Eggs: Gradually add the granulated sugar to the mixture, mixing well before adding the eggs, one at a time, until smooth.
4. Incorporate Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add this to the wet mixture, alternating with the milk, mixing just until combined.
5. Fold in Blueberries: Carefully fold in the blueberries, being gentle so they don’t break apart.
6. Pour in the Pan: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
7. Bake: Bake for 55-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. If the top starts to brown too quickly, lightly cover it with aluminum foil.
8. Cool: Let the loaf cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Top Tips for Perfecting Heavenly Blueberry Cream Cheese Loaf

• Substitutions: You can use coconut oil or a vegan butter as a substitute for unsalted butter if you prefer a dairy-free option.
• Timing: Always check for doneness a few minutes before the suggested baking time. Ovens may vary!
• Common Mistakes: Avoid over-mixing the batter once you add the flour; this keeps the loaf light and fluffy.

To store your Heavenly Blueberry Cream Cheese Loaf, wrap it in plastic wrap or store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
