Ingredients
**Pumpkin Bread Batter:**
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
1/4 tsp ground cloves
1/4 tsp ground ginger
1 cup pumpkin puree
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup vegetable oil
2 large eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
**Cream Cheese Filling:**
8 oz cream cheese, softened
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1 egg
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a 9×5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and spices.
3. In another bowl, whisk pumpkin puree, sugars, oil, eggs, and vanilla until smooth.
4. Add dry ingredients to wet and stir until just combined — do not overmix.
5. In a small bowl, beat cream cheese, sugar, egg, and vanilla until smooth.
6. Pour half of the pumpkin batter into the loaf pan and spread evenly.
7. Spread the cream cheese filling on top of the batter.
8. Pour the remaining pumpkin batter on top and smooth the surface.
9. Swirl gently with a knife for a marbled effect (optional).
10. Bake for 55–65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
11. Cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Notes
💡 Tips:
• For extra moisture, use canned pumpkin puree — not pumpkin pie mix.
• Add a handful of chocolate chips or chopped nuts for variation.
• Wrap tightly and store in the fridge up to 5 days, or freeze for up to 2 months.
• Best served slightly chilled for that cheesecake texture!
