Plus, blueberries are packed with antioxidants and vitamins, making this cake not just a treat, but also a healthy choice. Let me guide you step by step in creating this wonderful dessert!

Necessary ingredients:
- 250 g flour
- 150 g sugar
- 100 g butter, at room temperature
- 3 eggs
- 200 g cream cheese (Philadelphia type)
- 300 g fresh blueberries (or frozen, but make sure to thaw and drain them well)
- 1 packet baking powder (approximately 10 g)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- A pinch of salt
- Powdered sugar for decoration (optional)

Instructions:

1. Preparing the ingredients: Start by preheating the oven to 180°C (350°F). It’s important to have all the ingredients at room temperature to ensure even mixing.

2. Mixing the composition: In a large bowl, add the soft butter and sugar. Use an electric mixer to combine these ingredients until you achieve a fluffy cream. This step is essential to incorporate air and obtain a light and airy cake.

3. Adding the eggs: Incorporate the eggs one by one, mixing well after each addition. Then, add the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt. These will enhance the flavors of the cake.

4. Incorporating the dry ingredients: In another bowl, sift the flour together with the baking powder. Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet composition, gently mixing with a spatula or wooden spoon to avoid developing gluten.

5. Making the cream cheese: In another bowl, mix the cream cheese until creamy. You can add a bit of sugar (about 50 g) to sweeten the cream, but this step is optional, depending on your preferences.

6. Assembling the cake: In a baking dish lined with parchment paper, pour half of the batter. Spread the cream cheese evenly, then place the blueberries on top. Cover with the remaining batter, making sure it is well distributed.

7. Baking: Place the dish in the oven and bake the cake for about 30 minutes. You can do the toothpick test: if it comes out clean, the cake is ready.

8. Cooling and serving: Let the cake cool in the dish for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely. You can dust it with powdered sugar before serving for an elegant look.

Serving suggestions: This cake pairs perfectly with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a warm chocolate sauce. You can also experiment with other fruits, such as raspberries or blackberries, to diversify the flavors.

Vegan option: If you want a vegan option, you can replace the eggs with mashed banana (1 banana = 1 egg) and the butter with coconut oil or vegan margarine.

This quick dessert with blueberries and cream cheese is definitely a treat you don’t want to miss! Enjoy every slice and delight in the perfect combination of blueberry freshness and creaminess of the cheese.

The preparation of the crust starts with mixing the butter and sugar until it becomes yellowish and creamy. We add the egg and vanilla. We sift together the flour and add the milk alternately until incorporated, then pour the dough into the pan. Cream cheese: Beat the cream cheese until it becomes soft. Add sugar and mix well, then add vanilla and the egg and mix well. We spread the cream cheese over the cake batter and add blueberries on top. Crust: In a small bowl, add sugar and cinnamon, then add the butter, and crumble with your hands until the butter is no longer visible. We add the mixture on top of the blueberries and bake for 35-50 minutes. I left it for 50 minutes, and it got a bit burnt! So from 40 minutes, be watchful! Test with a toothpick! Once done, I let it cool in the open oven for 5 minutes! Cut into slices and serve with sweet cream sauce or fruit sauce.
