SWEET IRISH CREAM BREAD

2 pkg (3 oz each) cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup sugar
2 eggs, divided use
1 pkg (16.6oz) date bread mix
2/3 cup water
1/3 cup plus 1 tsp Bailey's Irish Cream, divided use
1 tbsp vegetable oil
FOR THE GLAZE:
1/2 cup powdered sugar
2 to 3 tsp milk

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and flour only the bottom of a loaf pan.

Beat cream cheese, 1/4 cup sugar and one of the eggs until smooth; set aside.

Combine bread mix, water, 1/3 cup Bailey's, oil and remaining egg. Mix until moistened.

Pour 1 cup batter into pan. Carefully spoon cream cheese mixture over and pour remaining batter over. Swirl with a knife to marble.

Bake 65-75 minutes until bread tests clean. Cool in pan 15 minutes, then remove to a wire rack to finish cooling.

Blend powdered sugar, remaining Bailey's and enough milk to reach a drizzling consistency and pour over cake.
