Ingredients:

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup fresh or canned peaches, diced (drained if canned)
  • Optional: Additional peach slices for topping

For the Cream Cheese Filling:

  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
  2. Prepare the Cream Cheese Filling: In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, sugar, flour, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth. Set aside.
  3. Prepare the Loaf Batter: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  4. In another bowl, whisk together the melted butter, eggs, sour cream, and vanilla extract until well combined.
  5. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Add Peaches: Gently fold in the diced peaches until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
  7. Assemble the Loaf: Pour half of the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Spoon the cream cheese filling evenly over the batter, leaving a border around the edges. Top with the remaining batter and smooth the top with a spatula. If desired, arrange additional peach slices on top.
  8. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Cool and Serve: Allow the loaf to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing. Enjoy slices of this delightful Peaches & Cream Loaf as a dessert or a sweet snack!

This Peaches & Cream Loaf combines the sweetness of ripe peaches with the richness of cream cheese for a wonderfully moist and flavorful treat. It’s perfect for enjoying with a cup of tea or coffee any time of day.
