Why I Love This Recipe

There’s something nostalgic about pound cake, but the addition of cream cheese and blueberries gives this version a fresh twist. The cream cheese keeps it ultra-moist without being heavy, while the burst of blueberries makes every slice feel like a treat. It holds up beautifully for a few days and slices like a dream—ideal for gifting or gatherings.

Bonus: It’s a breeze to throw together and makes your kitchen smell like a dream.

Ingredients

For the Cake:

• 3 cups granulated sugar
• 6 large eggs
• 2 tsp vanilla extract
• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• ½ tsp salt

Ingredient Swaps and Tips

• Blueberries: Fresh are best, but frozen will work—just toss in flour and use straight from the freezer.
• Flavor twist: Add 1 tsp lemon zest to the batter for extra citrusy depth.
• Pan prep: Make sure to grease and flour the Bundt pan well—this cake is dense and sticky.
• No Bundt pan? Divide the batter between two loaf pans and reduce bake time to 55–65 minutes.

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat & Prep

Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Generously grease and flour a 10-inch Bundt pan.

Step 2: Cream the Butter & Cream Cheese

In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter and cream cheese together until smooth. Add sugar and beat until light and fluffy—about 4–5 minutes.

Step 3: Add Eggs & Vanilla

Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next. Stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 4: Combine Dry Ingredients

In a separate bowl, whisk together flour and salt. Gradually add to the wet mixture, mixing just until combined—don’t overbeat.

Step 5: Add Blueberries

In a small bowl, toss blueberries with 1 tablespoon of flour. Gently fold into the batter with a spatula.

Step 6: Bake

Spoon the batter into the prepared Bundt pan and smooth the top.
Bake for 80–90 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then carefully turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 7: Make the Glaze (Optional)

Whisk together powdered sugar, lemon juice, and vanilla until smooth. Drizzle over the cooled cake and let set before slicing.

Tips for Success

• Use room temperature ingredients for smoother batter and better rise.
• Don’t rush the creaming step—this builds the cake’s light structure.
• Test early: Start checking the cake at 75 minutes with a toothpick.
• Cool before glazing: The glaze will run off if the cake is too warm.
