Peach Cream Cheese Loaf

1
Preheat the oven to 180°C and line a 9×5” loaf tin with baking paper.
2
Beat together the butter and sugar using an electric whisk until light and fluffy – about 4 minutes. Beat in the vanilla extract. Add the eggs one at a time, waiting until each is well incorporated until adding the next.
3
Fold through the flour and bicarbonate of soda, stir through the chopped peaches then pour into the prepared baking tin.
4
Bake the oven for 1 hour, or until a skewer inserted comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack.
5
For the glaze, place the cream cheese, softened butter, vanilla extract and peach syrup into a large bowl. Sift in the icing sugar, then whisk together until the mixture is smooth and no lumps remain.
6
Pour over the cooled loaf, decorate with thyme if you like, then slice to serve.
