In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. - Mix wet ingredients
In another bowl, whisk sugar, eggs, milk, oil, and vanilla until smooth. - Combine
Add dry ingredients into wet and mix until just combined (don’t overmix). - Fold in blueberries
Gently fold in the blueberries. - Make cream cheese filling
Beat cream cheese, sugar, egg, and vanilla until smooth and creamy. - Layer the batter
- Pour half the batter into the pan

Bake for 50–60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out mostly clean. - Cool & serve
Let it cool completely before slicing for clean layers.
✨ Tips:
- Toss blueberries in a little flour before adding to prevent sinking
- Add lemon zest for a fresh citrus note 🍋
- Dust with powdered sugar for a bakery-style finish
If you’d like, I can give you a healthier version, eggless version, or one using yogurt instead of oil.
