Cream Cheese Pound Cake

Saw NTUC selling blueberries at 2 for $4.95 if I remember correctly, so decided to use them for baking.. Berries is very good for us so it's good to indulge in them occasionally... Decided to use them with this recipe from Little Teochew as I saw a fellow baker post a pic of them and I fell in love and registered it in my To-Do list! 

First, the recipe asked for 150g Butter and my Elle Vire butter is 200g per block so I dun wan to have leftover, I ended using 1 and 1/3 of the recipe. And in my calculation, I accidentally added 35g more of cream cheese so I added additional 20g of flour, using a combi of plain and cake flour. =) Blur sotong rite!?

The end results, I made plain and blueberries flavour, it yummy. For someone who don't really enjoy all the pastries but only baking pleasure, I fell in love with it. It is light, moist and with a tinge of sour from the blueberries, cake is not overpowering with the butter nor cream cheese. 1 word - NICE!
