Lemon Cream Cheese Bread

In a large bowl, combine the sugar, eggs, sour cream, lemon zest, lemon juice, vanilla extract, and canola oil. Mix until smooth and well incorporated.
Mix Dry Ingredients:
In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
Combine Wet and Dry:
Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring until fully combined. Set the batter aside.
Prepare Cream Cheese Swirl:
In a small bowl, mix the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth.
Layer and Swirl:
Pour half of the batter into the greased loaf pan. Spoon half of the cream cheese mixture on top, and use a knife to gently swirl it into the batter.
Add the remaining batter on top, and spoon the rest of the cream cheese mixture. Carefully swirl again to create a marbled effect.
Bake:
Bake for 65-70 minutes, covering the loaf with foil for the last 20-30 minutes to prevent the top from browning too much.
Cool and Serve:
Let the bread cool completely before slicing. This ensures the cream cheese sets properly.
