Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a loaf pan.
  • In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  • Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.

  • Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.

Baking

Frosting

  • For the cream cheese frosting, beat together the cream cheese with 1/2 cup of unsalted butter until smooth.
  • Add powdered sugar and a splash of vanilla extract until creamy.
  • Once the bread is cooled, frost with the cream cheese frosting before serving.
