Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1.5 cups Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Baking soda
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1 cup Pumpkin puree
• 0.5 cup Vegetable oil
• 2 large Eggs
• 0.25 cup Water
• 8 ounces Cream cheese, softened
• 0.5 cup Powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking soda, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and salt. Mix well to distribute the dry ingredients evenly.

Step 3

In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, vegetable oil, eggs, and water until smooth and well blended.

Step 4

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

Step 5

In another bowl, prepare the cream cheese filling by beating the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.

Step 6

Pour half of the pumpkin batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it out evenly.

Step 7

Gently dollop the cream cheese mixture on top of the pumpkin batter, then use a knife or skewer to swirl it into the batter, creating a ribbon effect.

Step 8

Pour the remaining pumpkin batter on top and smooth the surface with a spatula.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.

Step 10

Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 11

Slice and serve the Pumpkin Ribbon Bread. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
