Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 15 servings

  • 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese

  • ½ cup white sugar

  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour

  • 1 large egg

  • 1 tablespoon orange zest

  • 1 ⅔ cups all-purpose flour

  • 1 teaspoon baking soda

  • ½ teaspoon salt

  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon

  • ½ teaspoon ground cloves

  • ½ teaspoon pumpkin pie spice

  • 1 cup pumpkin puree

  • ½ cup vegetable oil

  • 2 large eggs

  • 1 ½ cups white sugar

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Lightly grease two 8x4 inch loaf pans.

  2. Combine cream cheese, 1/2 cup sugar, 1 tablespoon flour, 1 egg and orange zest in a medium bowl; beat until smooth. Set aside. Sift together 1 ⅔ cups flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, cloves, and pumpkin pie spice; set aside.

  3. Place pumpkin, vegetable oil, 2 eggs and 1 ½ cups sugar in a large bowl; beat well. Stir the pumpkin mixture into the flour mixture just until combined. Fold in the pecans if desired. Pour 1/2 of the pumpkin batter into the loaf pans. Spoon cream cheese mixture on top of this layer and then pour on the remaining batter.

  4. Bake in preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into center of the loaf comes out clean, about 60 to 70 minutes. Cool bread in pans briefly before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.
