Pumpkin Cream Cheese Bread

Allrecipes' beloved fall quick bread -- warmly spiced pumpkin batter swirled with a tangy orange-zest cream cheese ribbon, baked into a moist loaf. The best autumn treat you'll make all season.

Ingredients

  • 1 (8 oz) package cream cheese
  • 2 cups white sugar, divided
  • 1 2/3 cups plus 1 Tbsp all-purpose flour, divided
  • 3 large eggs (1 for filling, 2 for batter)
  • 1 Tbsp orange zest
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp ground cloves
  • 1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 325F and lightly grease two 8x4-inch loaf pans.
  2. Beat the cream cheese, 1/2 cup sugar, 1 Tbsp flour, 1 egg, and orange zest in a medium bowl until smooth; set aside.
  3. Sift the 1 2/3 cups flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, cloves, and pumpkin pie spice together; set aside.
  4. Beat the pumpkin, vegetable oil, 2 eggs, and 1 1/2 cups sugar in a large bowl until well combined; stir into the flour mixture just until combined.
  5. Pour half the pumpkin batter into the pans, spoon the cream cheese mixture on top, and cover with the remaining batter.
  6. Bake 60-70 minutes until a toothpick in the center comes out clean. Cool briefly in the pans, then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
