Ingredients
For the Bread: 1 ½ cups (180 g) all-purpose flour 1 teaspoon baking soda ½ teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg ¼ teaspoon ground cloves ½ cup (120 ml) vegetable oil ½ cup (100 g) granulated sugar ½ cup (110 g) packed brown sugar 2 large eggs 1 teaspoon vanilla extract ¾ cup (180 g) pumpkin butter For the Cream Cheese Swirl: 6 oz (170 g) cream cheese, softened ¼ cup (50 g) granulated sugar 1 egg yolk ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan. Line with parchment if desired. 2. In a medium bowl, whisk flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves. 3. In another bowl, whisk oil, granulated and brown sugars, eggs, vanilla, and pumpkin butter until smooth. Fold in dry ingredients until just combined. 4. In a small bowl, beat cream cheese, sugar, egg yolk, and vanilla until creamy. 5. Pour half the pumpkin batter into prepared pan. Dollop half the cream cheese mixture over it and swirl gently with a knife. Repeat with remaining batter and cream cheese. 6. Bake for 55–65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool in pan 15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
• Use high-quality pumpkin butter for the best flavor. • Don’t overmix the batter to keep it tender. • Let bread cool completely before slicing for clean cuts. • Tent with foil if the top browns too quickly before the center is baked.
