Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp nutmeg
  • 1/2 tsp ginger
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 large egg (room temperature)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree
  • 4 oz cream cheese (full-fat, softened)
  • 2 tbsp powdered sugar
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tbsp milk
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5 inch loaf pan and line with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk granulated sugar, brown sugar, vegetable oil, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. Gently fold dry ingredients into wet ingredients until just combined. Fold in pumpkin puree.
  5. In a small bowl, mix cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla, and milk until smooth and spreadable.
  6. Pour half the batter into the pan. Dollop cream cheese mixture on top. Sprinkle half the chocolate chips.
  7. Pour remaining batter on top. Use a knife to swirl the cream cheese into the batter. Sprinkle remaining chocolate chips.
  8. Bake for 55-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  9. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Notes

Ensure cream cheese is softened to room temperature for smooth swirling. Do not overmix the batter to avoid tough bread. If the top browns too quickly, tent with foil. Cool completely before slicing to prevent the swirl from smearing.
