Method

Base Preparation

  1. 1

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Whisk together until well mixed.

  2. 2

    Combine Wet Ingredients

    In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and eggs until smooth.

  3. 3

    Combine Mixtures

    Pour the wet mixture into the dry mixture. Stir until just combined; do not overmix. The batter should be slightly lumpy.

  4. 4

    Prepare for Baking

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper.

Filling Preparation

  1. 5

    Prepare Cream Cheese Filling

    In a medium bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add the powdered sugar and lemon juice, mixing until creamy and well combined.

  2. 6

    Fold in Blueberries

    Gently fold the fresh blueberries into the cream cheese mixture, being careful not to crush the berries.

Assembly and Baking

  1. 7

    Layer Ingredients

    Pour half of the batter into the prepared baking dish. Spread the cream cheese and blueberry filling over the batter. Pour the remaining batter on top, carefully spreading it to cover the filling.

  2. 8

    Bake

    Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

  3. 9

    Cool and Serve

    Allow the dish to cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature, topped with whipped cream and fresh mint leaves.
