Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.5 cups Unsalted butter, melted
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 0.75 cups Buttermilk
• 1 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 8 ounces Cream cheese, softened
• 0.5 cup Powdered sugar
• 1 large Egg
• 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract (for cream cheese layer)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan and line it with parchment paper for easy release.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In another bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, melted butter, eggs, vanilla extract, and buttermilk until smooth.

Step 4

Gradually add the wet ingredients to the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined, being careful not to overmix. Fold in the chocolate chips.

Step 5

In a medium bowl, beat the cream cheese, powdered sugar, egg, and vanilla extract (for the cream cheese layer) until smooth and creamy.

Step 6

Pour half of the bread batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth it out with a spatula.

Step 7

Carefully spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the batter layer.

Step 8

Pour the remaining bread batter over the cream cheese layer and gently spread it to cover.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 55–60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.

Step 10

Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10–15 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
