Ingredients
  

  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar, divided
  • 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 large egg
  • 3/4 cup buttermilk
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup blueberries
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 large egg yolk

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5 loaf pan, line with parchment. In a small bowl, beat cream cheese, 1/4 cup sugar, and egg yolk until smooth.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk remaining 3/4 cup sugar, egg, buttermilk, oil, and vanilla. Add flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt; whisk until just combined.
  3. Fold blueberries into batter. Spoon half into pan. Dollop cream cheese mixture on top, swirl with a knife. Top with remaining batter and smooth.
  4. Bake 55 to 65 minutes until a toothpick has moist crumbs. Cool in pan 15 minutes, then lift out and cool completely on a rack.
  5. Slice and serve.

Notes

Frozen blueberries need no thawing; toss them straight into the batter. The loaf keeps well wrapped at room temperature for a day.
