Ingredients

• 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tsp baking powder
• ½ tsp salt
• ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cup sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 cup cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup fresh blueberries (plus extra for garnish)
• ½ cup heavy whipping cream
• 2 tbsp powdered sugar

How to Make Blueberry Cream Cheese Cake

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
3. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
4. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract and cream cheese until fully combined.
5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
6. Gently fold in the fresh blueberries, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
7. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
8. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
9. While the cake cools, whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar until soft peaks form. This will be your topping.
10. Once the cake is completely cool, spread the whipped cream on top and garnish with additional blueberries. Slice and serve!

Tips for the Best Results

• Ensure your butter and cream cheese are at room temperature for easy mixing.
• Avoid overmixing the batter to keep the cake light and fluffy.
• Fresh blueberries work best, but you can use frozen if necessary—just fold them in gently to prevent color bleeding.

Easy Variations

• Add a teaspoon of lemon zest to the batter for a refreshing citrus twist.
• Substitute half of the blueberries with raspberries or strawberries for a mixed berry version.
• For a richer flavor, consider adding a splash of almond extract.

What to Serve With It

• A scoop of vanilla ice cream for a delightful contrast.
• A drizzle of lemon curd for added tanginess.
• A cup of freshly brewed coffee or tea to complement the sweetness.
