Blueberry Cream Cheese Loaf

INGREDIENTS

• 2 cups plus 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour, divided
• 2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries
• 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
• 8 oz cream cheese, softened
• 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 4 eggs
• 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt

PREPARATION

1. Preheat oven to 350°F and grease two 9×5-inch loaf pans. Set aside.
2. Toss blueberries with the 2 tablespoons of flour. Set aside.
3. In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter, cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla with an electric mixer until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
4. In a separate bowl, stir together the remaining 2 cups flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually mix into the wet ingredients until thoroughly incorporated.
5. Gently fold in blueberries and pour batter into prepared loaf pans. Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 45-55 minutes.
