Ingredients

Units Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups flour
  • 1 Teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 Teaspoon salt

Cake Batter

  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 2 Eggs (large)
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 1 Teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 cup blueberries (plus 2 tablespoons extra blueberries)

Cream Cheese Batter

  • 1 cup cream cheese
  • 1 Egg
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1 Teaspoon vanilla

Instructions

  1. Preheat and prepare pan. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and line with parchment paper a 8 x 8 inch baking tin. Set aside.
  2. Sift dry ingredients. Sift together the flour, baking powder and salt. Set aside.
  3. Make cake batter. In the bowl of your electric mixer, beat the butter on high speed for about a minute. Add all the sugar at once and mix until pale and fluffy, about 2 -3 minutes. Add eggs, one at a time, and mix in until incorporated into the batter. Add vanilla and mix until combined, just about 20 seconds.
  4. Add flour mixture. Using a wooden spoon, stir the flour mixture into the wet ingredients. Stir just until combined and there are no lumps. Don’t over mix. Pour this batter into your prepared pan. Sprinkle over 1 cup of fresh blueberries.
  5. Prepare cream cheese batter. In a clean mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese on high for about 30 seconds. Add all the sugar at once and mix until combined, about 1 minute. Add the egg and vanilla and mix until smooth, about 2 minutes.
  6. Layer cream cheese batter and blueberries. Pour the cream cheese batter over the cake batter and smooth it over until it completely covers the top. Sprinkle over remaining 2 tablespoons of blueberries.
  7. Bake cake. Bake in the preheated oven for about 40-45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with just a few crumbs.
  8. Cool cake. Remove from oven and place on a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. Serve and store. Cut into squares and can be stored in the fridge for up to 5 days or in the freezer for a month.

Notes

  • Cool the cake completely before cutting to ensure clean squares.
  • Store in the fridge for up to 5 days or freeze for up to a month for longer storage.
