We are going to make a cream cheese
0:02
blueberry loaf. The perfect breakfast,
0:06
brunch, snack, dessert, whatever you're
0:10
looking for. First thing we're going to
0:11
do is we've got to make that cream
0:13
cheese mixture to put inside of the
0:16
loaf.
0:19
We're going to be baking the world a
0:21
better place.
0:24
Take one block of cream cheese, 8
0:27
ounces. Make sure you bring it to room
0:28
temperature. generally takes about 1
0:30
hour on your countertop.
0:33
We're going to place it into a
0:34
mediumsized bowl.
0:37
Now, when you think about this recipe,
0:40
think about fresh blueberries.
0:48
These are like so fresh, so delicious.
0:52
I've already washed these off.
0:54
M
0:56
pops of goodness. To the cream cheese,
0:59
we're going to add in half a cup
1:02
granulated sugar.
1:06
Crack in one egg.
1:12
Hold it all together. And then we're
1:14
going to have one teaspoon of vanilla.
1:21
I'm going to bring over my electric hand
1:22
mixer. We're going to blend this
1:24
together till nice and creamy.
1:27
Should take about 2 minutes. Now, if
1:29
you're just pulling your cream cheese
1:31
out of the refrigerator, you can unwrap
1:32
it, put it on a microwave safe plate,
1:34
and just put it in the microwave, you
1:37
know, for every 10 seconds.
1:39
And then just keep going until you have
1:41
a nice creamy consistency.
1:44
You don't want it runny, though. You
1:46
don't want to melt it. Just soften it.
1:49
You want to get all those little bits of
1:51
cream cheese blended in as much as you
1:54
can. All right, that is perfect right
1:57
there.
2:00
All right, don't be tempted to eat this
2:02
or give it a try cuz there's egg in it.
2:05
Take your mixture, set it aside.
2:08
We're on to the batter part of this
2:10
recipe. We're going to cream together
2:12
one stick of very soft butter, which is
2:15
half a cup. Now, I'm going to put this
2:17
into a large mixing bowl.
2:20
And we're going to add in half a cup of
2:23
granulated sugar.
2:26
I'm running out. So, I'm going to
2:28
measure it right here.
2:32
We're going to cream that together until
2:33
it's nice and smooth
2:38
and light in consistency.
2:42
Want to get that sugar all incorporated
2:44
into the butter.
2:46
Grab a spatula. That way we can pull
2:48
down the sides.
2:51
Make sure everything is getting nice and
2:53
incorporated. Give it another whirl.
2:56
That look fluffy.
3:00
We're going to be using two eggs. Now, I
3:02
brought these to room temperature, which
3:04
means just pulling them out of your
3:06
refrigerator and just let them sit on
3:07
your counter top while you're getting
3:08
everything ready just to get the chill
3:10
off of them. So, we're going to crack
3:13
them in one at a time
3:16
and beat it in.
3:19
So, we'll add it, bead it in, and then
3:20
we'll add in the second egg.
3:25
I like to put them in a separate bowl.
3:28
That way, I can look for any kind of
3:29
shells.
3:33
All right, let's beat that in.
3:36
All right. Once that's combined, we're
3:38
going to add in one teaspoon
3:41
vanilla extract. Just going to give it a
3:44
little guess here.
3:48
Mix that in.
3:54
Then we're going to set this bowl and
3:57
our hand mixer aside cuz we'll need that
3:59
here in just a minute. As we put
4:01
together the dry ingredients,
4:05
we're going to be in a medium bowl and
4:06
we're going to add in two cups of
4:08
allpurpose flour.
4:11
I've got a half a cup here, so I'm going
4:13
to go in four times.
4:17
And four. And then we're going to add in
4:20
two teaspoon of baking powder will help
4:24
rise our loaf. I'm just going to add a
4:28
pinch of salt. I've already got salt in
4:31
the butter. So, if you're using unsalted
4:34
butter, then you can go up to a/ quart
4:35
teaspoon of salt. Grab a whisk. We're
4:39
going to blend this together. Airate the
4:42
flour and get the salt and the baking
4:44
powder incorporated.
4:46
And let's build that batter.
4:49
So, bring your wet ingredients. And
4:51
we've already incorporated with the hand
4:52
mixer here. I just took a spatula and
4:55
kind of pulled everything down. Now,
4:57
what you want to have on hand is your
5:00
spatula. Hang on to that. And then we're
5:01
going to get half a cup of milk and our
5:05
flour.
5:06
And then what we're going to do is
5:08
incorporate one/3 of the flour, a little
5:10
bit of the milk, flour, the rest of the
5:12
milk, and then the rest of the flour.
5:15
We're going to beat that together just
5:17
until combined. Grab your spatula. Help
5:20
get that all down in there. One/3 of the
5:23
flour, rest of the milk.
5:27
Blend that together.
5:30
Take your spatula.
5:32
Pull down the sides. We're going to add
5:35
the rest of the flour.
5:38
Blend that in.
5:45
Pop those off. All right, I'm going to
5:46
clean the bowl.
5:49
Make sure everything's incorporated.
5:53
Let's go grab those blueberries. Here's
5:55
a step that we missed. I had like two
6:00
cups of fresh blueberries in here. You
6:02
can use frozen blueberries, too, and
6:04
thaw them out and then just drain out
6:05
the excess juice that's in them. Now, I
6:08
put the fresh blueberries into my batter
6:11
here and got it all mixed up. I just
6:14
folded it in with a spatula.
6:18
That way, I didn't bust up the
6:19
blueberries too much. Now, we're going
6:22
to go get our loaf pan. I did save some
6:25
blueberries for the top of the blueberry
6:28
and cream cheese loaf. And we still got
6:30
that cream cheese mixture to
6:32
incorporate. I've sprayed a 9x5x3
6:36
loaf pan. We're going to place half of
6:38
the batter into it.
6:43
Just kind of smooth that out.
6:48
And then we're going to put half of that
6:50
cream cheese mixture that we made on top
6:53
of that
6:55
kind of right in the center. And then
6:58
we're going to place the rest of the
7:01
batter,
7:03
which I have right here, on top. That
7:06
means all of it. Clean the bowl. We'll
7:09
just kind of smooth that out nice and
7:11
evenly.
7:14
And then we're going to put the rest of
7:16
the cream cheese filling.
7:20
Smooth it out on top. Oh, it smells
7:22
good. Who doesn't love cream cheese
7:24
filling? Smooth it out nice and even.
7:32
And place the rest of the blueberries on
7:35
top.
7:37
There we go. What do y'all think?
7:41
Okay, I have my oven preheated at 350°.
7:45
We're going to bake this for 50 to 60
7:50
minutes until a toothpick in the cake
7:52
part of this comes out nice and clean.
7:56
All right, you guys. We're going to cool
7:58
it 10 minutes in the pan here before we
8:00
remove it out of there. I'll be back.
8:02
Okay, guys. What do you think? My
8:04
blueberry cream cheese loaf. It's a
8:08
cake. Look at that. All right. What I
8:12
did when it came out of the oven, I let
8:13
it rest in the baking dish for about 10
8:15
to 15 minutes. I took a butter knife and
8:18
I just went around the edges of it to
8:20
loosen it up. Then I let it sit until it
8:22
cooled down just about completely. And
8:25
then I put a plate on the top of it,
8:27
flipped the whole thing out, and then
8:30
put a plate on top of that and put it on
8:32
the plate right here. There we go. You
8:34
guys, look at that.
8:38
As my husband always say, in all its
8:40
glory.
8:43
>> I said this was for Rihanna, but I don't
8:44
know.
8:45
>> Yeah, that's She ain't getting all of
8:47
it.
8:48
>> She's not getting all of that. All
8:49
right, I'm going to cut a piece, plate
8:51
it up, and give it a try for you.
8:58
>> Look at that.
8:59
>> Blueberries.
9:01
>> We got that cream cheese mixture right
9:02
in the center and on the top. It's going
9:05
to look like a You know what? I think
9:07
it's going to taste like a big cheese
9:08
Danish.
9:10
>> I'm excited.
9:12
Oh, I'm going down here.
9:14
>> We mean some business. Get that
9:16
blueberry.
9:18
Here's my bite.
9:26
Mhm.
9:28
It took one hour in the oven.
9:32
It's not going to look cooked on the top
9:34
because it's got that cream cheese
9:36
layer. Take a toothpick and drive it
9:38
through the cake to that cake part
9:40
there. Bring it out. You'll know. It'll
9:43
be nice and golden along the edges. All
9:45
right, you guys. What do y'all think? I
9:48
think it deserves two thumbs ups.
9:50
>> I think I need some coffee.
9:52
>> Yeah, Thomas is going to go make him
9:53
some some coffee right now. All right,
