Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar (for cheesecake layer)
  • 1 large egg (for cheesecake layer)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (for cheesecake layer)
  • 1/2 cup dulce de leche (plus extra for drizzling, optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a 9×5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together butter and 1/2 cup sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each. Mix in vanilla extract.
  5. Alternately add dry ingredients and milk to the butter mixture, beginning and ending with dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
  6. In a separate bowl, beat cream cheese with 1/4 cup sugar, 1 egg, and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla until smooth.
  7. Spread half the cake batter into the prepared loaf pan. Add the cheesecake layer and spread evenly.
  8. Dollop spoonfuls of dulce de leche over the cheesecake layer, then swirl gently with a knife.
  9. Top with remaining cake batter and lightly swirl again for a marbled effect.
  10. Bake for 50–60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  11. Cool completely in the pan before slicing. Drizzle with extra dulce de leche if desired before serving.

Notes

  • Use room temperature ingredients for a smoother batter and filling.
  • Dulce de leche can be found in the international aisle or made by simmering sweetened condensed milk.
  • Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
