Banana bread with cheesecake inside

Ingredients:

Banana bread

• 1 cup all-purpose flour + extra for dusting the pan
• 0.5 tsp of soda
• 0.5 tsp coarse salt
• 0.5 cup granulated sugar
• 2 very ripe bananas
• 1/4 cup vegetable oil
• 0.5 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 large egg
• Powdered sugar for sprinkling

Cheesecake layer

• 1 package (220 g) of cream cheese, room temperature
• 1/3 cup granulated sugar
• 1/4 cup sour cream
• 1 large egg

Preparation:

1. Position a rack on the bottom shelf of the oven and preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C). Generously spray a 9 x 5-inch loaf pan with cooking spray and dust with flour.
2. Cheesecake layer:
   
   Combine cream cheese, granulated sugar, sour cream, and egg in a large bowl and beat with a hand mixer until smooth; set aside.
   
3. Banana bread:
   
   In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt; set aside. In a large bowl, mash the bananas with the sugar until they form a paste. Stir in the vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and egg. Fold in the flour mixture and knead into a dough.
   
4. Set aside 3/4 cup of dough in another bowl. Spoon the remaining dough into the prepared loaf pan. Spoon the cream cheese mixture onto the dough and cover it with the remaining 3/4 cup of dough down the center of the pan. Insert the tip of a knife into the dough and run it through the cheesecake, swirling it 5-6 times.
5. Bake until the surface of the bread is dry and a cake tester inserted into the center comes out clean, about 1 hour. Cool on a wire rack for 30 minutes, then carefully invert the bread onto a plate or cake stand and flip it again, standing it upright.
6. Let cool completely, at least 1.5 hours. Dust with powdered sugar and serve.
