Blueberry Cream Cheese Butter Cake

I baked non-bake blueberry cheese cupcake before and it looked really awful and not promising. Since then, I have no courage to bake a cake. It looks so difficult to me and I afraid of failure, then all my effort, time and money will go wasted. :p 

I saw this blueberry cream cheese butter cake from Ellena Guan and I am so tempted to try to bake one. At least one. I gathered my courage once again and put my feet down to bake.

The cake was smelling so good after it came out from the oven. The cake is very moist and creamy topped with the fresh blueberries, it is very delicious! I love to have this after chill. It tastes so good to me. :) I'm so happy that I did it! Hubby non-stop compliment that this cake is very nice and even said better than those selling on the shelf! I'm flattered. :p 

The cake before pop into the oven. I was so nervous and praying hard it turns good at that point of time. I probably stop baking cake if this failed. :p

It looks so soft and fluffy after bake! If you like cheesecake texture like and creamier, then chill them in the fridge for overnight. :)
