  • Total Time: 1 hour 15 minutes
  • Yield: 1 loaf

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup canned pumpkin purée
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a loaf pan with butter or non-stick spray.
  2. Whisk together the dry ingredients: flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger. Set aside.
  3. In a separate bowl, mix the granulated sugar, brown sugar, oil, eggs, and pumpkin purée until smooth.
  4. Add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. In a small bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth.
  6. Pour half of the pumpkin batter into the prepared loaf pan. Drop dollops of cream cheese mixture over the batter. Top with remaining pumpkin batter.
  7. Gently swirl the batter with a knife or skewer to create marbled swirls.
  8. Bake for 60-70 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool for 15 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Notes

  • For best results, use room temperature cream cheese for smooth mixing.
  • You can add chopped nuts or chocolate chips for extra flavor.
  • Ensure pumpkin purée is well-drained to prevent batter from becoming too moist.
