Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 0.5 cups unsalted butter, melted
• 0.75 cups milk
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 2 large eggs
• 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
• 0.5 cups powdered sugar
• 1 cup fresh raspberries

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan.

Step 2

In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and granulated sugar.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter, milk, vanilla extract, and eggs until well combined.

Step 4

Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, mixing until just incorporated. Do not overmix.

Step 5

In another bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth and creamy.

Step 6

Gently fold the fresh raspberries into the bread batter to ensure even distribution.

Step 7

Pour half of the bread batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it evenly.

Step 8

Spread the cream cheese mixture in a thin, even layer over the batter in the pan.

Step 9

Top the cream cheese layer with the remaining bread batter, carefully spreading it to cover the cream cheese layer.

Step 10

Bake for 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. If the top browns too quickly, tent the loaf with aluminum foil during the last 15 minutes of baking.

Step 11

Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes, then carefully transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
