| Ingredient | Quantity |
|---|---|
| All-purpose flour | 2 cups |
| Granulated sugar | 1 ½ cups |
| Unsalted butter (softened) | 1 cup (2 sticks) |
| Cream cheese (softened) | 8 oz (1 package) |
| Eggs | 4 |
| Caramel topping | ½ cup |
| Vanilla extract | 1 ½ teaspoons |
| Ground cinnamon | 1 ½ teaspoons |
| Baking soda | 1 ½ teaspoons |
| Salt | ½ teaspoon |
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease two 9×5-inch loaf pans and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, beat together the butter, cream cheese, and sugar until smooth and fluffy. Add in the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
Gradually incorporate the dry mixture into the wet ingredients. Mix just until everything is combined—avoid overmixing to keep the bread tender.
Divide ¼ of the batter between the two prepared pans. Drizzle ¼ cup of caramel topping over the batter in each pan and gently swirl with a knife. Add the remaining batter evenly on top.
Place the pans in the preheated oven and bake for 45 to 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Let the loaves cool in the pans for about 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Allow them to cool completely before slicing. Serve and savor every bite!
