To finish:

Loaf:
1. Preheat the oven to 170°C. Line a 25 cm x 13 cm x 5.6 cm bread pan with baking paper.

2. Cream the butter and sugar together until pale and light. Add the eggs one at a time and beat well after each addition. Add the yoghurt and vanilla essence and mix well.

3. Sift the flour, baking powder and salt together. Add to the creamed mixture and fold in.

4. In a separate bowl, coat the blueberries in the extra flour and gently fold into the flour mixture.

5. Spoon into the prepared pan and spread out evenly. Bake for 50 – 60 minutes or until a skewer inserted comes out clean. Turn out on a wire rack and leave to cool completely.

Cream cheese icing:
1. Beat the cream cheese, icing sugar and vanilla essence until smooth. Add the food colouring little by little and mix until the preferred colour is achieved. Add a little milk if the mixture is too firm.

2. Spoon over the loaf and decorate with blueberries.
