Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cloves
  • ¼ teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
  • ½ cup vegetable oil
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×5 inch loaf pan.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and ginger.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the sugar, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract. Stir in the pumpkin puree until well combined.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. In a small bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with ¼ cup sugar, 1 egg, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until smooth.
  6. Pour half of the pumpkin batter into the prepared loaf pan. Dollop half of the cream cheese mixture over the batter. Swirl gently with a knife.
  7. Pour the remaining pumpkin batter over the cream cheese layer. Dollop the remaining cream cheese mixture on top and swirl again.
  8. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For a cleaner swirl, chill the cream cheese mixture slightly before dolloping.
  • This bread freezes well. Wrap tightly in plastic wrap and then foil. It can be frozen for up to 3 months. Thaw at room temperature.
  • Serve slices for a delicious breakfast, snack, or dessert. It makes a lovely hostess gift.
