• Reduce the oven to 325 degrees and bake loaf for 50 to 55 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. (Note: Oven temperatures vary so I would check on the bread after about 45 minutes. It still might need another 10 minutes or so. Just don't over bake) Allow bread to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before glazing and slicing.
• Make the glaze: Using an electric mixer, beat cream cheese until smooth. Add confectioners' sugar, vanilla and heavy cream. Mix until smooth and creamy.
