Bread (Dessert) - Cream Cheese Banana Bread

A little about categorizing bread. Our system is not scientific by a long shot. We've placed them into table, flat, dessert, and fried. Table bread may include loaves of sandwich-type bread or something designed to serve as a loaf or dinner bun at the table. Flat is generally un-yeasted bread that is flat (duh!). Fried can be pan-fried or deep-fried. Dessert is for delectables such as banana bread. The words dressing and stuffing are interchangeable, depending where you live. Many will contain bread, others may not. This is dizzying.

Bread Mixture...
½ c. melted butter, plus more butter for pan
1½ c. flour
1 tsp. baking soda
½ tsp. salt
1 c. sugar
¼ c. sour cream
1 tsp. pure vanilla extract
2 large eggs

Cream Cheese Mixture..
6 oz cream cheese (softened)
1 large egg
⅓ c. sugar
2 T. flour

Preheat oven to 350°. Spray a 9"-x-5" loaf pan and set aside. In a large bowl, whisk together 1 cup flour, baking soda, and salt. In another large bowl, combine 1 cup sugar, butter, sour cream, vanilla, 2 eggs and mix until smooth. Pour wet ingredients over dry and stir until combined, then fold in mashed bananas. Make cream cheese filling: In a small bowl, stir together egg, cream cheese, flour and sugar. Transfer half the batter to prepared pan. Dollop cream cheese filling on top and smooth in an even layer with a spatula. Top with remaining batter and bake until golden and a toothpick comes out clean, about 1 hour. Let cool 5-10 minutes before serving.
