Instructions

0/10 Instructions
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and grease a 9 x 5 inch loaf pan and set aside.
  • Cream Cheese Layer
  • Using a stand mixer, beat the cream cheese until creamy.
  • Add sugar and egg, and beat to combine. Make sure to scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
  • Cake Layer
  • Whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and baking soda in a large bowl.
  • In a separate large bowl, whisk together the eggs, sour cream, buttermilk, olive oil, and vanilla until well blended and smooth.
  • Spoon half of the cake batter into prepared loaf pan.
  • Add the cream cheese mixture, spreading evenly over the cake batter.
  • Top with the remaining cake batter.
  • Bake for 50 - 60 minutes. Tent the cake with aluminum foil half way through the baking time to prevent the top and sides of the cake from over-browning. Cake is done when a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean.
  • Remove cake from the oven and place on a wire rack. Allow cake to cool in the pan on the wire rack for at least 30 minutes up to 1 hour, then carefully remove the slightly warm cake from the pan. Continue to cool on a wire rack or a serving dish.
