Ingredients

Units Scale

For the pumpkin bread:

  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1 cup canned pumpkin purée
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the cream cheese filling:

  • 8 oz cream cheese (softened)
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan.
  2. Mix dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and ginger.
  3. Mix wet ingredients: In a large bowl, mix the pumpkin purée, oil, eggs, sugar, and vanilla until smooth.
  4. Combine the batter: Gradually stir the dry ingredients into the wet until just combined.
  5. Prepare cream cheese filling: In a separate bowl, beat together the cream cheese, sugar, flour, egg, and vanilla until smooth and creamy.
  6. Layer the batter: Pour half of the pumpkin batter into the prepared loaf pan, then spoon the cream cheese mixture evenly over it. Top with the remaining pumpkin batter and smooth the surface.
  7. Bake: Bake for 55–65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Cover loosely with foil if the top browns too quickly during the last 15 minutes.
  8. Cool and serve: Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Notes

  • This bread slices best when fully cooled or chilled.
  • Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 4 days.
