Ingredients

• 1.75 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 0.25 teaspoon ground ginger
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup pumpkin puree
• 0.75 cup granulated sugar
• 0.25 cup brown sugar
• 0.5 cup vegetable oil
• 2 units large eggs
• 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
• 0.25 cup granulated sugar (for cream cheese mix)
• 1 unit large egg (for cream cheese mix)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.

Step 2

In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, granulated sugar, brown sugar, vegetable oil, and eggs. Whisk the wet ingredients until smooth.

Step 4

Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 5

Prepare the cream cheese filling by beating together the softened cream cheese, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 1 egg, and vanilla extract in a small bowl until smooth and creamy.

Step 6

Pour half of the pumpkin batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth it out evenly.

Step 7

Spread the cream cheese mixture over the pumpkin batter, ensuring an even layer.

Step 8

Add the remaining pumpkin batter on top of the cream cheese layer and smooth it out with a spatula.

Step 9

Using a butter knife, gently swirl the layers together to create a marbled effect (optional).

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean with just a few crumbs.

Step 11

Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
