Best Cheesecake Stuffed Banana Bread Recipes

CHEESECAKE-STUFFED BANANA BREAD

Steps:

• For the banana bread: Position an oven rack in the bottom third of the oven and preheat to 325 degrees F. Generously spray a 9-by-5-inch loaf pan with nonstick spray and dust with flour.
• For the cheesecake swirl: Combine the cream cheese, granulated sugar, sour cream and egg in a large bowl and beat with a hand mixer until well combined; set aside.
• For the banana bread: Whisk together the flour, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl; set aside. Mash the granulated sugar and bananas in a large bowl to a paste. Whisk in the oil, vanilla and egg. Whisk in the flour mixture until just combined.
• Reserve 3/4 cup of the bread batter. Spread the remaining batter in the bottom of the prepared loaf pan. Spoon the cream cheese mixture over the batter and put the reserved 3/4 cup batter in a line down the center of the pan. Insert the tip of a paring knife into the batter and drag it through and up to swirl 5 to 6 times.
• Bake until the top is cracked and a cake tester inserted in the center comes out clean, about 1 hour. Cool on a wire rack for 30 minutes, then carefully invert onto a platter or cake stand and then flip upright. Cool completely, at least 1 1/2 hours. Dust with confectioners' sugar and serve.

CHEESECAKE-STUFFED BANANA BREAD RING RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease a Bundt pan with nonstick spray.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla, stirring until smooth. Refrigerate.
• In a large bowl, mash the bananas with a fork. Add the flour, sugar, baking powder, oil, egg, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and vanilla. Stir until just combined, without overmixing. Pour half of the batter into the prepared Bundt pan.
• With an ice cream scoop, scoop the cream cheese mixture evenly onto the cake batter in the pan, making sure that it does not touch the sides. Pour the rest of the banana bread batter on top and smooth it evenly.
• Bake for 30 minutes, or until the banana bread is golden.
• To make the caramel glaze, heat the sugar in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Once it begins to melt, stir with a wooden spoon or whisk. When it reaches a boil, add the butter and stir until melted. Remove from the heat, add the heavy cream, and immediately stir until incorporated. (Make sure the cream is at room temperature or else it will curdle the sauce.) Allow the caramel cool and thicken.
• Invert the banana bread onto a wire rack set over a baking sheet.
• Pour the caramel glaze over the cake, letting the excess drip off. Once the glaze has set, slice the cake.
• Enjoy!
