How To Make Lemon Cream Cheese Bread
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and grease a standard loaf pan.
- In a large bowl, add sugar, eggs, sour cream, lemon zest, juice, vanilla, and oil. Mix until smooth and well combined.
- In another bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet until fully combined, then set aside.
- For the cream cheese swirl: In a small bowl, mix together the cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth.
- Add half of the batter to the prepared pan and spoon about half the cream cheese mixture on top, then swirl together with a knife.
- Top with the rest of the batter and spoon the remaining cream cheese mixture. Carefully swirl together to create a marbled look.
- Bake bread for 65-70 minutes, covering with foil for the last 20-30 minutes to prevent the top from browning.
- Allow the bread to fully cool before slicing to allow the cream cheese to set.
