Here’s the recipe for this legendary, incredibly moist blueberry pound cake with cream cheese filling. The combination of juicy fruit and a creamy center is exactly what makes it a heavenly experience!

Ingredients

Plum Cake Dough
200g plain flour (or semi-coarse)
150g granulated sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
a pinch of salt
2 eggs

120g plain yogurt or sour cream
80ml vegetable oil (or melted butter)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
150g fresh or frozen blueberries (if frozen, do not thaw them in advance)
1 tablespoon flour (for coating the blueberries)
Creamy Filling

200g cream cheese (e.g., Philadelphia, unflavored Bánovecká spread, or soft ricotta)
50g powdered sugar
1 egg yolk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract or grated lemon zest
Method
Step 1: Preparation
Preheat the oven to 180°C and grease and flour the cake tin. Plum cake, or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2: Filling
In a bowl, beat the cream cheese, powdered sugar, egg yolk, and vanilla (or lemon zest) until smooth. Set aside.

Step 3: Dough
In a large bowl, combine the dry ingredients: flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

In another bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients: eggs, yogurt (or cream), oil, and vanilla extract.

Add the wet mixture to the dry mixture and gently stir with a wooden spoon, just enough to combine the ingredients. Do not overwork the batter, otherwise the plum cake will be too compact.

Toss the blueberries with 1 tablespoon of flour (this will prevent them from sinking to the bottom) and gently fold them into the batter.

Step 4: Assembling
Pour half of the blueberry batter into the prepared pan. Spread the cream evenly over the surface (you can gently smooth it or use a knife to create a marbled effect). Cover with the remaining half of the batter.

Step 5: Baking
Bake in the preheated oven for about 50-60 minutes. Check for doneness with a toothpick: insert it into the center (be careful, the filling will be creamy, but the batter around it should be cooked and dry).

💡 Final tip: Let the cake cool completely before slicing. The cream cheese must firm up so that the cake cuts easily and the flavors blend perfectly.
