Ingredients

• 1.75 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 cups Unsalted butter, softened
• 0.75 cups Granulated sugar
• 2 pieces Large eggs
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 0.5 cups Whole milk
• 8 ounces Cream cheese, softened
• 0.25 cups Powdered sugar
• 0.33 cups Fruit jam (strawberry, raspberry, or your choice)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan. Line it with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy using a hand or stand mixer.

Step 4

Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk. Start and finish with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix.

Step 6

In a separate bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and the remaining teaspoon of vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.

Step 7

Spread half of the loaf batter into the prepared pan. Using a spoon, dollop half of the cream cheese mixture over the batter and swirl gently with a knife. Then, dollop half of the jam over the cream cheese mixture and swirl it in lightly.

Step 8

Repeat the layering with the remaining batter, cream cheese mixture, and jam, swirling again to create a marbled effect on the top.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 55-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean (avoid the cream cheese and jam areas for accurate testing).

Step 10

Let the loaf cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then use the parchment overhang to lift it out and place on a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
