Ingredients:
- 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 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 ½ teaspoons cinnamon
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Directions:
- Prep the Pans: Preheat your oven to 350º F. Grease two 9×5-inch loaf pans with butter or non-stick spray.
- Cream the Base: In a large bowl, using a mixer, cream together the butter, cream cheese, and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Incorporate Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
- Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, stirring just until incorporated to avoid overmixing.
- Layer with Caramel: Pour ¼ of the batter into each prepared pan. Spoon ¼ cup of caramel topping over the batter in each pan and swirl with a knife, avoiding the edges.
- Add Remaining Batter: Gently add the remaining batter over the caramel layer in each pan, smoothing the top lightly.
- Bake: Place the pans in the oven and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the bread to cool in the pans for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
