When I saw fresh blueberries at the store I knew it was time for dessert! I love blueberries and I thought what better way then to pair them up with my old favorite cream cheese! This cake is deliciously moist, not too sweet and simple to prepare. I garnished it with some cream cheese icing and a handful of fresh blueberries. It is to die for!
Ingredients are as follows:
1 C butter
1 3/4 C sugar
2 eggs
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
2 tsp. vanilla
1 3/4 C flour
1 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. salt
1 cup of fresh blueberries
1 Tbsp. flour
Directions: Preheat oven to 350 degrees; grease a 9″ tube pan.
Cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
Beat in the eggs, one at a time.
Mix in the cream cheese and vanilla; stir until smooth and creamy.
By hand, fold in the flour, baking powder and salt. Set aside.
Place blueberries into a bowl and toss with flour.
Gently fold blueberries into the batter.
Pour batter into the greased pan.
Bake in preheated oven for 50-55 minutes or until golden brown. Cool in pan for ten minutes then remove from pan.
Garnish with some cream cheese icing and fresh blueberries.
Slice, serve, and enjoy!
I needed to check back. I made this cake today with the help of my two-year-old. I had a misshap when I tried to take the cake out of the pan. It broke into pieces. Oh well, it was DELICIOUS, and since it was in pieces, it was easier to cut! Thanks again for sharing!
This looks great. I grow my own blueberries and am always looking for new things to try with them.
I am stopping by from the Sweet for a Saturday blog hop.
yummy stuff
This sounds sooooo delicious! I'm definitely going to be trying this now that all of the lovely blueberries are in season. Thanks so much for sharing this at Inspiration Friday this week!

You were not kidding… this is to die for! I made it today and we've nearly devoured it all. The cream cheese makes the batter very moist. This recipe is definitely a keeper!
YUM–That cake looks and sounds so good! I need to try it!
