Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup canned pumpkin puree
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (for cream cheese filling)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5 inch loaf pan.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, mix the pumpkin puree, granulated sugar, brown sugar, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
- Prepare Cream Cheese Filling: In a separate bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Layer the Batter: Pour half of the pumpkin batter into the prepared loaf pan. Spread half of the cream cheese mixture over the batter. Repeat with the remaining batter and cream cheese mixture, swirling gently with a knife to create a marbled effect.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 55-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. Slice and serve.
