Step-by-Step Instructions
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Preheat & Prep
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) . Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan and line it with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal.
Step 2: Make the Bread Batter
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Alternately add the dry ingredients and sour cream to the wet mixture, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined. Fold in the diced peaches gently.
Step 3: Make the Cream Cheese Swirl
In a small bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, sugar, egg yolk, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
Step 4: Assemble the Loaf
Spread half of the peach batter evenly into the prepared loaf pan. Dollop the cream cheese mixture over the batter, spreading it gently with a spatula. Top with the remaining peach batter, spreading it carefully to cover the cream cheese layer. Use a knife or skewer to gently swirl the layers for a marbled effect.
