Recipe Details

Makes: 2 loaves

The Ingredients You’ll Need

• 2 cups flour
• 1 1/2 cups sugar
• 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature
• 1 (8 oz.) package cream cheese, room temperature
• 4 eggs, room temperature
• 1/2 cup caramel topping
• 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
• 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt

Preparation Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350ºF and lightly grease two 9×5-inch loaf pans with butter or non-stick spray.
2. In a large bowl or mixer, cream together the butter, cream cheese, and sugar until well combined. Then, one at a time, beat in the eggs and vanilla.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon until well combined. Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, stirring until just incorporated.
4. Pour ¼ of the batter into each greased baking dish. Spoon ¼ cup of caramel topping onto the batter and gently swirl it around, making sure to keep it away from the edges of the pan.
5. Carefully add the remaining batter on top of the caramel layers.
6. Place the pans in the oven and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
7. Remove the pans from the oven and let the bread cool before serving.

Now, all that’s left to do is enjoy this scrumptious caramel cream cheese bread. So, turn on some cozy music, pour yourself a cup of tea or coffee, and savor every bite of this delightful fall treat.
