Ingredients

• 1 1/4 cups plain (all-purpose) flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 115 g (1 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature
• 115 g (4 oz) cream cheese, room temperature
• 2/3 cup granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons lime zest
• 2/3 cup fresh blueberries

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 175°C (350°F). Butter and line a 9 × 5 loaf pan. Set aside.

2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder and salt. Set aside.

3. In stand mixer, beat together cream cheese, butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.

4. Add eggs one at a time, thoroughly mixing after each addition.

5. Add vanilla extract and lime zest, mixing until combined.

6. Pour flour mixture over the batter mixture. Using a large rubber spatula, gently fold in the flour until it’s completely mixed in and there are no pockets of dry flour. Fold in the blueberries.
