Caramel Cream Cheese Bread
Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
- 1 (8 oz.) package cream cheese, softened
- 4 large eggs, at room temperature
- 1/2 cup caramel topping
- 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease two 9×5-inch loaf pans with butter or non-stick spray.
- In a large bowl or stand mixer, cream together the softened butter, cream cheese, and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Gradually incorporate the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
- Divide the batter evenly between the prepared loaf pans. Spoon 1/4 cup of caramel topping over the batter in each pan and gently swirl it in, avoiding the edges of the pan.
- Carefully spread the remaining batter over the caramel layers in each pan.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaves comes out clean.
- Allow the bread to cool in the pans before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy!
