BLACKBERRY CREAM CHEESE BREAD
This blackberry cream cheese bread is so good in the morning for breakfast with a cup of coffee. We like it as a snack anytime, too. You could use all kinds of fruit and berries to make this bread. I love the taste of the lemon along with the cream cheese and blackberries in this bread. I can never get enough blackberries and can’t wait for summer to make all the good blackberry recipes.

Can you use blueberries in place of the blackberries ?
Yes, you could.
Looks delish , will have to try it .
Can this be frozen? I have an abundance of blackberries and running out of ideas of how to use. Great looking bread!!
I think you could freeze it but I have never tried doing it, Sherry.
could I sub self rising for the ap flour?
Yes, I think you could.
Wouldn’t you have to leave out the baking powder and baking soda self rising flour already has those in it?
If you use self-rising flour, yes you would.
