Ingredients
  

For the Cake Batter:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup butter melted
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries

For the Cream Cheese Layer:

  • 200 g cream cheese
  • ¼ cup sugar
  • 1 egg
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions
  

Prepare the Oven and Pan

  • Preheat your oven to 180°C. Grease your cake pan lightly with butter or oil. You can also line it with baking paper. This helps the cake come out easily after baking.

Mix Dry Ingredients

  • Take a large bowl. Add flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Mix them well using a whisk. This step ensures even mixing and helps the cake rise properly.

Combine Wet Ingredients

  • In another bowl, add melted butter, eggs, milk and vanilla extract. Mix everything until smooth. The mixture should look creamy and well blended.

Make the Batter

  • Slowly add the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir gently. Do not overmix. A few lumps are okay. Overmixing can make the cake dense.

Fold in Blueberries

  • Add the fresh blueberries to the batter. Fold them gently using a spatula. This helps keep the berries whole and spreads them evenly in the cake.

Prepare Cream Cheese Mixture

  • In a small bowl, mix cream cheese, sugar, egg and vanilla. Beat until smooth. The texture should be creamy and slightly thick.

Layer the Batter

  • Pour half of the cake batter into the pan. Spread it evenly. Then add the cream cheese mixture on top. Spread gently without mixing too much.

Add Remaining Batter

  • Pour the remaining batter over the cream cheese layer. Smooth the top carefully. You can swirl lightly for a marble effect if you like.

Bake the Cake

  • Place the pan in the oven. Bake for 35–40 minutes. The top should turn golden. Insert a toothpick in the center. It should come out clean.

Cool and Serve

  • Remove the cake from the oven. Let it cool for at least 15 minutes. Slice and serve. Enjoy the soft cake with creamy filling and juicy blueberries.

Notes

  • Use frozen blueberries if fresh are not available
  • Toss blueberries in flour to prevent sinking
  • Add lemon zest for fresh flavor
  • Use low-fat cream cheese for lighter version
  • Sprinkle sugar on top for a crunchy crust
  • Do not overbake to keep the cake moist
