Flour and leavening agents are folded in for structure, and lemon zest and juice are added last to lock in freshness. In a separate bowl, cream cheese is whipped with a bit of powdered sugar until silky.
Layer the two mixtures in a loaf pan and swirl with a knife to create that signature marbled effect. As it bakes, the kitchen fills with a warm citrus scent that promises the flavor waiting inside.
Once cooled, slicing is clean, and the creamy center is perfectly set. Serve plain, drizzle with a light glaze, sprinkle powdered sugar, or add fresh fruit for extra flair.
