Peaches & Cream Cheese Loaf

Step 4: Add Eggs and Vanilla

Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract until fully incorporated.

Step 5: Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients

Add half of the dry ingredients to the batter and mix gently. Stir in the sour cream (or Greek yogurt), then add the remaining dry ingredients. Mix just until combined—overmixing can make the loaf dense.

Step 6: Fold in the Peaches

Gently fold the diced peaches into the batter. If your peaches are very juicy, lightly pat them dry to prevent excess moisture.

Step 7: Make the Cream Cheese Filling

In a separate bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add the sugar, egg, and vanilla extract, and mix until creamy and lump-free.

Step 8: Assemble the Loaf

Pour half of the peach batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it evenly. Spoon the cream cheese mixture over the batter, smoothing it gently. Top with the remaining peach batter. For a marbled look, lightly swirl with a knife.

Step 9: Bake to Perfection

Bake for 55–65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the loaf (avoiding the cream cheese layer) comes out mostly clean. If the top browns too quickly, loosely cover with foil during the last 15 minutes.

Step 10: Cool and Slice

Let the loaf cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely. This allows the cream cheese layer to set for clean, beautiful slices.

Serving & Storage Tips

• Serve slightly warm or at room temperature for the best flavor.
• Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
• This loaf also freezes well—wrap tightly and freeze for up to 2 months.
