Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

For the frosting, beat cream cheese and butter until smooth.

Gradually add powdered sugar and milk, mixing until desired consistency is reached.

Spread the cream cheese frosting over the cooled loaf cake.
