CINNAMON CHIP CREAM CHEESE BREAD

Steps:

• 1. Make the cream cheese filling first. Beat all of the ingredients until smooth. Set aside.
• 2. Make the glaze. Mix all ingredients and set aside.
• 3. Preheat oven to 350 degree F. Grease and flour a loaf pan.
• 4. In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Add the vanilla and mix. Add the egg yolks (the whites will be used later so save them!) and mix well. Whisk flour, salt and baking powder together. Alternate adding the flour mixture and the milk. Mix after each addition.
• 5. In another bowl, beat the egg whites until soft peaks form. Add the 1/4 cup sugar, 1 Tbsp. at a time, until egg whites are stiff.
• 6. Fold the egg whites into the batter mixture. All but about 1/2 cup of the cinnamon chips. Stir.
• 7. Add the 1/2 cup of cinnamon chips to the cream cheese mixture (if you want.) Pour half of the batter into a greased and floured loaf pan. Top with the cream cheese layer and spread to make it even. Add the rest of the batter and spread it out.
• 8. Pour the glaze over the uncooked batter. Bake for 55 - 60 minutes or until pick in the center comes out clean.
