For an extra touch of flavor, toast the walnuts lightly before chopping. Ensure your cream cheese is fully softened for a smooth cheese layer. A hint of nutmeg or cinnamon can add warmth to the batter.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPreheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x5x3 inch loaf pan. (Prep time: 5 minutes)
02
StepIn a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, 1/3 cup granulated sugar, and 1 egg together until smooth and well combined. Set aside this delightful cheese mixture. (Prep time: 7 minutes)
03
StepIn a separate mixing bowl, beat the remaining 2 eggs until frothy. Gradually mix in the vegetable oil, milk, and lemon zest, creating a luscious wet batter. (Prep time: 5 minutes)
04
StepIn a third bowl, whisk together the flour, 1/3 cup granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking soda, salt, and chopped walnuts. Ensure the dry ingredients are evenly distributed. (Prep time: 5 minutes)
05
StepPour the dry ingredient mixture all at once into the mixing bowl with the milk batter. Stir gently until just moistened. Avoid overmixing to maintain a tender crumb. (Prep time: 3 minutes)
06
StepSpoon half of the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading evenly. Carefully spoon the cheese mixture over the batter layer. Cover with the remaining batter by dropping small spoonfuls here and there. (Prep time: 8 minutes)
07
StepBake in the preheated oven for approximately 1 hour, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. (Bake time: 60 minutes)
08
StepLet the bread cool in the pan for 15 minutes before turning it out very carefully onto a wire rack to cool completely. (Cooling time: 15 minutes)
