Ingredients

Scale

Bread Ingredients

  • 2 cups light brown sugar, packed
  • 4 cups all purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 cups milk (whole or 2%)
  • ⅔ cups vegetable oil

Filling

  • 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • ¼ cup white granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • ¼ cup caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade)

Instructions

  1. Prepare loaf pans and preheat oven: Grease two 1-pound loaf pans thoroughly to prevent sticking and preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) for optimal baking temperature.
  2. Mix dry ingredients: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the packed brown sugar, all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir well to evenly distribute all dry components.
  3. Mix wet ingredients: In a large bowl or stand mixer, beat together the eggs, milk, and vegetable oil until fully combined and smooth.
  4. Combine wet and dry mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring or mixing until just moistened to avoid overmixing and tough bread.
  5. Pour batter into pans: Pour half of the batter evenly into the prepared loaf pan, creating a base layer for the filling.
  6. Prepare cream cheese filling: In a separate bowl or with a stand mixer, blend the softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, and egg until smooth and creamy.
  7. Add cream cheese filling: Spoon the cream cheese mixture directly onto the center of the batter in the loaf pan, making sure it is mostly centered to create a swirl effect.
  8. Top filling with batter: Pour the remaining batter over the cream cheese filling, spreading lightly and leaving enough room for the bread to rise while baking.
  9. Add caramel swirl: Drizzle a stripe of caramel sauce on top of the batter and use a knife to gently swirl it into the surface for a marbled caramel effect.
  10. Bake the bread: Place the loaf pans in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean except for some moist cream cheese remnants.

Notes

  • Ensure the cream cheese is softened for easier mixing and a smoother filling.
  • Do not overmix the batter to keep the bread tender and fluffy.
  • The caramel swirl can be increased or decreased based on your preference for sweetness.
  • Use toothpicks to check doneness by inserting near the center, as the cream cheese filling may cause some moistness.
  • Store leftover bread wrapped tightly at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
