Delicious Pumpkin Cream Cheese Bread Recipe

Ingredients

• 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese
• 0.5 cup white sugar
• 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
• 1 egg egg
• 1 tablespoon orange zest
• 1.67 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon ground cloves
• 0.5 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
• 1 cup pumpkin puree
• 0.5 cup vegetable oil
• 2 eggs eggs
• 1.5 cups white sugar

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 325°F (165°C). Grease two 8x4 inch loaf pans. Gather all ingredients for the recipe.
2. In a medium bowl, combine cream cheese, 1/2 cup sugar, 1 tablespoon flour, 1 egg, and orange zest. Beat until smooth and set aside the cream cheese mixture.
3. In a separate bowl, sift together 1 ⅔ cups flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, cloves, and pumpkin pie spice. Set aside the dry ingredients.
4. In a large bowl, combine pumpkin, vegetable oil, 2 eggs, and 1 ½ cups sugar. Beat well until combined. Stir the pumpkin mixture into the flour mixture until just combined. Gently fold in the pecans, if desired.
5. Pour half of the pumpkin batter into the prepared loaf pans. Spoon the cream cheese mixture evenly over the pumpkin batter, then pour the remaining pumpkin batter on top.
6. Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 60 to 70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Cool the bread in the pans briefly, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
