Strawberry Cream Cheese Bread

I was on a baking kick the other day and had some strawberries I needed to use so I decided to try out a strawberry cream cheese bread recipe and OH MY WORD it was SO GOOD! It was almost giving like a strawberry danish feel and my family gobbled both loaves up super quick.

What You'll Need...

- 8 ounces of cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup butter, room temperature
- 1 1/2 cups sugar
- 2 eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 cup milk
- 1 1/2 cups sliced fresh strawberries

What You'll Do...

Step One) Preheat the oven to 375 and grease two bread loaf pans

Step Two) Slice strawberries into thin, bite-size pieces and dab off any extra moisture with a paper towel.

Step Three) In a large bowl, cream together the cream cheese and butter.  Add in the sugar, eggs, vanilla and beat until light and airy.

Step Four) In a smaller bowl, combine the flour, baking powder and salt.  Once they're combined, slowly add the dry ingredients and the milk to the wet ingredients.

Step Five) Gently fold the strawberries into the batter and then transfer the batter to the prepared loaf pans and bake for 50-60 minutes or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean.  I tented mine with foil after about 40 minutes so they didn't get too brown.

Step Six) Allow the loaves to fully cool before slicing.

 

This was crumbly and moist and full of flavor and if you give it a try I'd love to know what you think!
