Instructions
Preheat the oven and prepare the pan: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan.

Assemble the bread: Pour half of the pumpkin batter into the loaf pan, top with cream cheese filling, and cover with the remaining pumpkin batter.
Bake: Bake for 50–60 minutes until a toothpick comes out mostly clean. Cool before slicing.

For best slicing, allow the bread to cool completely or chill before cutting.
