Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350F and grease and flour a 9x5 loaf pan..

Step 2

In a large-sized bowl whisk the egg, mashed sweet potatoes, sugar, melted butter, buttermilk, nutmeg, cinnamon and vanilla extract.

Step 3

Next, add the salt, flour, baking soda and baking powder to the bowl with sweet potato mix. Mix with a whisk or silicone spatula. Do not over mix.

Step 4

In a bowl, with an electric hand mixer, mix the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar and egg until smooth. Set to the side.

Step 5

Pour half of the sweet potato batter into a greased loaf pan, spreading it out evenly. Then add (use half) dollops of the cream cheese filling on top of the sweet potato batter.

Step 6

Using a spoon or spatula, carefully put the remaining sweet potato batter on top of the cream cheese filling and add dollops of the remaining cream cheese filling on top. Bake the sweet potato bread for about 60 mins to 75 mins, or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out mostly clean. A few crumbs is okay.

Step 7

Let bread cool for about 30-60 minutes before slicing it. Enjoy!
