Ingredients

Cheesecake Filling

  • 226 g cream cheese room temperature (1 c.)
  • 2 tbsp. granulated sugar
  • 1 egg room temperature
  • 2 tbsp. all purpose flour
  • 1 tsp. vanilla

Pumpkin Bread

  • 100 g vegetable oil (½ c.)
  • 200 g granulated sugar (1 c.)
  • 300 g pure pumpkin puree (1 ⅓ c.)
  • 2 eggs room temperature
  • 55 g whole milk room temperature (¼ c.)
  • 2 tsp. vanilla
  • 240 g all purpose flour (2 c.)
  • 2 ½ tsp. pumpkin pie spice
  • 1 ½ tsp. baking powder
  • ½ tsp. baking soda
  • ½ tsp. salt

Instructions

Cheesecake Filling

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F / 175°C. Butter and line a 9x5" loaf pan with parchment paper, to make a hammock for the loaf.
  2. In a small mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese with the sugar until it's smooth. Then, beat in the egg, and vanilla until well combined.
  3. Fold the flour into the mixture, then set it aside.

Pumpkin Bread

  1. To a large mixing bowl, add in the oil, sugar, pumpkin puree, eggs, milk, and vanilla. Whisk vigorously until well combined.
  2. Add in the flour, pumpkin pie spice, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Carefully mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients just until no flour streaks remain.
  3. Pour half of the pumpkin batter into the loaf pan. Then, carefully pour the cheesecake filling over the pumpkin batter, and smooth it out into an even layer.
  4. Pour the remaining pumpkin batter over the cheesecake layer. Use a knife to swirl the batter a couple of times.
  5. Bake for 60-70 minutes, or until a toothpick/knife inserted in the center of the loaf comes out clean.
  6. Allow the loaf to fully come to room temperature before slicing. Serve and enjoy!
