A delightful blend of creamy richness and refreshing citrus brightness, this Lemon Cream Cheese Bread is moist and tender, perfect for breakfast, snacks, or dessert.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup cream cheese (softened)
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
  • Zest of 1 lemon

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×5-inch loaf pan to ensure your bread can slide out easily after baking.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and granulated sugar. Using an electric mixer, beat them together until the mixture is smooth and creamy—about 2-3 minutes will do the trick.
  3. Crack in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Pour in the vegetable oil and continue to mix until everything is well incorporated.
  4. Whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a separate bowl.
  5. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until you see no dry flour remaining.
  6. Pour in the fresh lemon juice and toss in the lemon zest, gently folding them into your batter.
  7. Pour the batter into your prepared loaf pan and smooth out the top. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  8. Once baked, remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10-15 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Serve with a dollop of whipped cream or a drizzle of honey. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
