Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a 9-inch springform pan by greasing it and lining the bottom with parchment paper.
  2. Create the cream cheese layer by combining cream cheese, 1/4 cup sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract; blend until creamy.
  3. Add the egg white to the cream cheese mixture and blend until smooth.
  4. Prepare the cake base by sifting flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a bowl.
  5. Cream together softened butter and 1/2 cup sugar until light and fluffy in a separate bowl.
  6. Add the whole egg, egg yolk, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract to the butter mixture; mix well.
  7. Alternate between adding the dry and wet ingredients until just combined.
  8. Spread half of the cake batter into the prepared pan and sprinkle 1/3 cup of blueberries on top.
  9. Carefully spread the cream cheese mixture over the blueberries and finish with the remaining blueberries.
  10. Mix the streusel topping ingredients until crumbly and sprinkle evenly over the blueberries.
  11. Bake for 40-45 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  12. Let the cake cool on a wire rack before removing from the pan.

Notes

Ensure cream cheese is softened to room temperature for the best texture. For added zest, consider incorporating lemon zest or nuts into the batter.
