Ingredients
For the Pumpkin Bread:
1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon cinnamon
½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
¼ teaspoon ground ginger
¼ teaspoon ground cloves
½ teaspoon salt
1 cup pumpkin puree
½ cup vegetable oil
2 large eggs
1 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the Cream Cheese Filling:
8 oz cream cheese, softened
¼ cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan.
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cloves, and salt.
- In another bowl, combine pumpkin puree, oil, eggs, sugar, and vanilla. Mix well.
- Gradually add wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until combined.
- In a separate bowl, beat cream cheese, sugar, egg, and vanilla until smooth for the filling.
- Pour half of the pumpkin batter into the pan, spread the cream cheese mixture, and top with the remaining pumpkin batter.
- Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the bread cool for 10 minutes in the pan, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Ensure the cream cheese is softened for a smooth, even filling.
To keep the cream cheese layer in place, spread it gently and avoid overmixing the batter.
Store the bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to 5 days.
