Making Blueberry Cream Cheese Bread is straightforward if you follow these steps:

1. Preheat your Oven: Set your oven to preheat at 350°F (175°C). Grease a standard loaf pan with butter or non-stick spray.

2. Cream the Butter and Cheese: In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and butter. Beat them together using an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy.

3. Add Sugar and Eggs: Gradually add granulated sugar to the cream mixture, beating well. Add the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next. Then, stir in the vanilla extract.

4. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.

5. Incorporate Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing gently until just combined. Avoid over-mixing to keep the bread tender.

6. Fold in Blueberries: Gently fold in the blueberries along with the lemon juice and lemon zest for an extra zing.

7. Pour into the Pan: Transfer your batter to the prepared loaf pan, smoothing out the top gently.

8. Bake: Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

9. Cool: Once done, remove it from the oven and allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

10. Slice and Enjoy: Once cooled, slice the bread and enjoy it plain or spread with additional cream cheese or butter if desired.
