Instructions

Preheat your oven to 325°F and grease a 9” x 5” loaf pan (optional: line with parchment paper).
In one bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and pumpkin pie spice.
In another bowl, mix eggs, sugars, vegetable oil, pumpkin puree, and vanilla until smooth. Gradually add dry ingredients until just combined.
For the cream cheese layer, beat cream cheese until smooth, then mix in sugar, egg, vanilla, and flour until fully blended.
In the greased loaf pan, pour half of the pumpkin batter followed by half of the cream cheese mixture; repeat layers and swirl gently with a knife.
Bake for about 75 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Allow to cool before slicing.
