Preparation of Base

1

Mix Dry Ingredients

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

2

Cream Butter

In a separate bowl, beat the unsalted butter until creamy. Gradually add the dry mixture, alternating with the milk, mixing until smooth.

3

Add Eggs and Vanilla

Add the eggs and vanilla extract to the mixture. Beat until fully incorporated and the batter is smooth.

Prepare Cream Cheese Mixture

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

5

Add Blueberries

Gently fold in the fresh blueberries into the cream cheese mixture until evenly distributed.

Assembling and Baking

6

Preheat Oven

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

7

Combine Layers

In a greased baking dish, spread half of the batter at the bottom. Add the cream cheese filling, then top with the remaining batter.

8

Bake

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until the top is golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

9

Cool and Serve

Once baked, allow to cool for 10 minutes. Serve warm topped with whipped cream and fresh mint leaves.
