A delicious and easy-to-make Lemon Cream Cheese Bread that combines the tangy flavor of lemon with the richness of cream cheese.

Scale

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and butter until smooth and fluffy.
Gradually mix in the granulated sugar, followed by the eggs, one at a time. Beat until well blended.
Stir in lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla extract until fully combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, stirring just until combined. Avoid over-mixing.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the bread cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Ensure the cream cheese and butter are at room temperature for easier mixing.
For best flavor, use freshly squeezed lemon juice.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
