Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup canned pumpkin puree
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 1/2 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 salt
  • 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup sugar (for cream cheese filling)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease your loaf pan.
  2. Make the cream cheese filling by mixing together the softened cream cheese, 1/4 cup sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  3. Combine the wet ingredients in a bowl: whisk together the pumpkin puree, vegetable oil, and 1 cup of sugar, then beat in the eggs one at a time.
  4. Mix the dry ingredients in another bowl: whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
  5. Combine the wet and dry mixtures, folding gently until just combined.
  6. Layer half of the pumpkin batter into your loaf pan, add the cream cheese filling, and top with the remaining batter, creating a swirl with a knife.
  7. Bake for 50–60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Cool the loaf in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Dust the top with powdered sugar or serve warm with butter or honey for a comforting touch.
