FILLING:
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup sugar
- 1 Tbsp. flour
- 1 whole egg
- 1 Tbsp. orange zest
GLAZE:
- 2 Tbsp. sugar
- ½ tsp. vanilla
- 1 tsp. water
BREAD:
- ½ cup butter
- ½ cup sugar
- ¼ tsp. salt
- 1 tsp. vanilla
- 2 whole Egg Yolks
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp. baking powder
- ⅓ cup milk
- 1 1/2 – 2 cups blueberries
- 1 Tbsp. all-purpose flour
- 2 whole egg whites
- ¼ cup white sugar
Instructions
Filling:
- In a medium bowl, combine cream cheese, sugar, 1 tablespoon flour, egg and orange zest; beat until smooth. Set aside.
Glaze:
- Stir together the glaze ingredients and set aside.
For the bread:
- Cream butter and 1/2 cup sugar until fluffy. Add salt and vanilla. Add egg yolks (save the egg whites as you’ll need them later) to the sugar mixture; beat until creamy. Set aside.
- In another bowl, combine flour (1 1/2 cups) and baking powder. Add this mixture, alternately with milk to egg yolk mixture.
- Coat berries with 1 tablespoon flour and add them to the batter.
- In a separate bowl, beat egg whites until soft peaks form. Add 1/4 cup sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, and beat until stiff peaks form. Fold egg whites into batter.
- Pour 1/3 of the batter into a floured and greased bread pan. Layer the filling over the batter and then finish with remainder of batter. This will create a layer of “cheesecake” between the blueberry batter.
- Pour glaze over top of unbaked loaf and bake at 350F for 55-60 minutes.
