Time 3h45m

Yield 1 loaf

Number Of Ingredients 15

One 8-ounce package cream cheese, at room temperature
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup sour cream
1 large egg
Nonstick cooking spray
1 1/3 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting the pan (see Cook's Note)
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 cup pumpkin puree
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 large egg
Confectioners' sugar, for dusting

Steps:

  • For the cheesecake swirl: Position an oven rack in the bottom third of the oven and preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Combine the cream cheese, granulated sugar, sour cream and egg in a large bowl and beat with a mixer until well combined; set aside.
  • For the pumpkin bread: Generously spray a 9-by-5-inch loaf pan with nonstick spray and dust with flour. Whisk together the flour, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl and set aside. Whisk together the granulated sugar and pumpkin puree in a large bowl, then whisk in the oil, pumpkin pie spice, vanilla and egg. Whisk in the flour mixture until just combined.
  • Reserve 1 cup of the pumpkin batter. Spread the remaining batter in the bottom of the prepared loaf pan. Spoon the cream cheese mixture over the pumpkin batter, then put the reserved pumpkin batter in a line down the center of the pan. Insert the tip of a paring knife into the batter and drag it through and up to swirl 5 to 6 times.
  • Bake until the top is cracked and a cake tester inserted in the center comes out clean, 1 hour 15 minutes to 1 hour 20 minutes. Cool on a wire rack for 30 minutes, then carefully invert onto a platter or cake stand and flip upright. Let cool completely, at least 1 1/2 hours. Dust with confectioners' sugar and serve.

This bread was a bit too sweet for my taste, but overall it was a good recipe. I would recommend using less sugar next time.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my bread didn't turn out as good as the picture. The cheesecake filling was runny and the bread was too dense.

This bread was a bit dry for my taste. I think I would add more pumpkin puree next time.
