Looking for a recipe for a lemon poppyseed cream cheese bread?

Went to a ';famous'; hotel for Sunday brunch, and they had this most wonderful lemon poppyseed bread, and inside it was a cream cheese filliing - much like a filled-bundt cake. Searched the web, but can find nothing similar. Didn't want to embarrass myself by asking for the recipe. Anybody know of one? I'd love to have it if you do. Thanks, in advance.Looking for a recipe for a lemon poppyseed cream cheese bread?

Did you check the hotel's website? Sometimes they have their recipes online. You can also try Allrecipes.com or Better Homes and Gardens(bhg.com).





Oh, and if you didn't know, poppyseeds on a cake or bread can turn up a positive on an employer drug test. It's good for people to know this. A good friend of mine lost her job because she had poppyseed cake the day before her unannounced drug test. No one cared to hear what the cause of the positive outcome was, instead they were narrow-minded and fired her(at-will company). So if you or anyone that eats it, works, you know now if you didn't know before about their effects on drug testing!
I know...I had something similar in Japan. Not a bread, but a cakey loaf, very moist with a swirl of cream cheese in the centre. The starbucks in japan sold it, and it was sooo tasty and I can't find a recipe anywhere!!!
