Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup canned pumpkin puree
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 large egg (for filling)
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar (for filling)
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour (for filling)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan and set aside.
- In a large bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, eggs, oil, vanilla extract, and sugar. Mix until well blended.
- In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring just until combined.
- For the cream cheese filling, beat the softened cream cheese, egg, sugar, and flour together until smooth and creamy.
- Pour half of the pumpkin batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it evenly.
- Spoon the cream cheese mixture over the pumpkin batter and carefully spread it to cover the surface.
- Pour the remaining pumpkin batter over the cream cheese layer, spreading it evenly.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Notes
For best results, avoid overmixing the batter. Use room temperature ingredients for a smoother filling and check for doneness early to prevent overbaking.
