Servings 24 slices

Ingredients
  

  • 3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter softened to room temperature
  • 8 ounces cream cheese softened to room temperature
  • 2 cups sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tsp. almond extract
  • 1 1/2 - 2 heaping cups peaches peeled and diced
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp. baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp. baking powder
  • 1 tsp. ground cinnamon
  • 1 cup slivered or chopped almonds

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350 F. Grease two large loaf pans with non-stick spray and set aside.
  • Using an electric or stand mixer, cream together the butter, cream cheese, and sugar until light and fluffy, about 1-2 minutes. Add eggs and almond extract and continue to mix until well-combined.
  • Mix in the dry ingredients until just combined, and then fold in the peaches and almonds. Be careful not to over-mix!
  • Distribute batter evenly between the greased loaf pans and bake 55-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Remove the loaves from the oven and allow them to cool in their pans for 20 minutes. After that, remove the loaves from the pan onto a wire cooling rack and allow to cool completely before slicing.
