Blueberry Cream Cheese Bread

What you need:

For the filling:

    • 8 oz. cream cheese, softened
    • 1/2 cup sugar
    • 1 tbsp. flour
    • 1 whole egg
    • 1 tbsp. orange zest

For the glaze:

    • 2 tbsp. sugar
    • 1/2 tsp. vanilla
    • 1 tsp. water

For the bread:

    • 1/2 cup butter, softened
    • 1/2 cup sugar
    • 1/4 tsp. salt
    • 1 tsp. vanilla
    • 2 whole egg yolks (you'll be using the whites!)
    • 1 1/2 cups flour
    • 1 tsp. baking powder
    • 1/3 cup milk
    • 1 1/2 to 2 cups blueberries
    • 1 tbsp. flour
    • 2 whole egg whites
    • 1/4 cup sugar

Directions:

    1. For the filling: Combine all ingredients and beat until smooth. Set aside.
    2. For the glaze: Stir together all ingredients and set aside.
    3. For the bread: Cream together butter and 1/2 cup sugar until fluffy.
    4. Add salt and vanilla. Add egg yolks (remember to save egg whites!) one at a time and beat until creamy.
    5. In a separate bowl, combine 1 1/2 cups flour and baking powder.
    6. Alternate adding dry ingredients and milk to the wet ingredients. Mix until just combined.
    7. In a small bowl, toss blueberries with 1 tbsp. flour. Add them to the bread batter.
    8. In another bowl, beat egg whites until soft peaks form. Add 1/4 cup sugar a tablespoon at a time until stiff peaks form. I used my stand mixer to do this for me while I was preparing the rest of the stuff. Fold into batter.
    9. Pour a little less than half the batter into a greased, floured bread pan.
    10. Then pour the filling over the top of the batter.
    11. Finish off with the remainder batter. Pour glaze on top.
    12. Bake at 350* for 55 to 60 minutes.
