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 ground ginger
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 2 eggs
• 1 cup pumpkin puree
• 0.5 cup vegetable oil
• 0.25 cup milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 8 ounces cream cheese
• 0.25 cup powdered sugar
• 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract (for swirl)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt.

Step 3

In a medium bowl, beat the eggs, then whisk in the pumpkin puree, vegetable oil, milk, and vanilla extract.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold them together until just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 5

In a separate bowl, beat the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and 0.5 teaspoon of vanilla extract until smooth and creamy to prepare the cream cheese swirl.

Step 6

Pour half of the pumpkin batter into the prepared loaf pan. Spoon half of the cream cheese mixture over the top and gently swirl it with a knife or skewer.

Step 7

Repeat with the remaining pumpkin batter and cream cheese mixture, swirling the top layer as well.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs.

Step 9

Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

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