Indulgent Caramel Cream Cheese Bread Recipe: A Sweet and Savory Delight

Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1.5 cups granulated sugar
• 1 cup unsalted butter (2 sticks), softened
• 1 package cream cheese (8 oz.), room temperature
• 4 large eggs, room temperature
• 1/2 cup caramel sauce
• 1.5 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
• 1.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 1.5 teaspoons baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt

Preparation

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease two 9×5-inch loaf pans with butter or non-stick spray. In a large mixing bowl or stand mixer, combine softened butter, cream cheese, and sugar until creamy. Add eggs one at a time, followed by vanilla extract, mixing thoroughly after each addition. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined. Divide half of the batter evenly between the two prepared pans. Drizzle 1/4 cup caramel sauce over each layer, swirling gently with a knife. Carefully spread the remaining batter over the caramel layers. Bake for 45-50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the bread to cool completely before slicing. Serve and enjoy this decadent treat!
