Pre-heat oven to 325° F.
Grease one 9X5 inch loaf pan & dust with flour. With an electric mixer, beat sugar, butter, cream cheese, & vanilla until fluffly. Beat in eggs.
In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking powder, & salt
Beat flour mixture into sugar mixture until smooth.
Add 1 1/2 cups of rasperries into batter.
Spread batter into loaf pan. Makes sure batter has no air bubbles, then add remaining raspberries to top of batter, pushing them slightly (about halfway) into batter.
Bake for 75 minutes (check at 65).
When done, allow to cool then top with your favorite icing (I like this recipe) & add more raspberries if desired. Yield: one loaf.
