1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup vegetable oil
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
8 oz 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, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined.
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 filling over it, then add the remaining pumpkin batter and top with the rest of the cream cheese filling. Use a knife to swirl the cream cheese into the batter gently.
Bake: Bake for 55-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve: Slice and enjoy your pumpkin cream cheese bread as a delightful fall treat!
