The loaf cake might just be the unsung hero of the baking world. They’re delightfully unfussy and are somehow appropriate to serve at any time a day. Cake for breakfast? Sign me up! This Lemon Cream Cheese Bread is a deliciously dense loaf cake with a swirl of rich cream cheese through the middle. Yes, it’s as good as it sounds!
The batter comes together with the regular baking staples, the zest of two lemons, and a splash of lemon juice. Once you have that all mixed up, it’s time to start on the cream cheese swirl. This will be made with a block of softened cream cheese and a little powdered sugar for sweetness. The batter and cream cheese mixture are layered into the loaf pan and then swirled together for a beautiful marble look.
