Pumpkin Swirl Bread

Ingredients

  • 0.25 cup white sugar
  • 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 1.75 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt
  • 0.25 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree
  • 0.5 cup butter, melted
  • 0.33333298563957 cup water

Method

  1. Set your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Prepare a 9x5-inch loaf pan by greasing and flouring it.
  2. In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to blend the ¼ cup sugar, cream cheese, and 1 egg until the mixture is creamy and smooth. Set this aside.
  3. In another bowl, mix the remaining 1 ½ cups sugar with the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, salt, and nutmeg. In a separate bowl, combine the remaining 1 egg, pumpkin puree, melted butter, and water. Stir this wet mixture into the dry ingredients until just moistened.
  4. Set aside 2 cups of the pumpkin batter. Pour the rest of the pumpkin batter into your prepared pan. Spread the cream cheese mixture over the top. Spoon the reserved 2 cups of pumpkin batter over the cream cheese layer. Use a knife to cut through the layers several times to create a swirl pattern.
  5. Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for about 70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the centre comes out clean. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before turning it out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
