Step-by-Step Instructions
1️⃣ Preheat & Prep
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a 9×5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper.
2️⃣ Mix Pumpkin Batter
In a medium bowl, whisk flour, baking soda, baking powder, pumpkin spice, and salt.
In a separate large bowl, whisk granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, pumpkin puree, oil, milk, and vanilla until smooth. Gently stir in dry mix — don’t overmix.
3️⃣ Make Cheesecake Filling
In another bowl, beat cream cheese, sugar, egg, and vanilla until smooth and creamy.
4️⃣ Assemble
Pour half the pumpkin batter into the pan. Spread cream cheese filling on top, then layer the rest of the pumpkin batter over it. Smooth gently.
5️⃣ Bake
Bake 50–60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
6️⃣ Slice & Enjoy 🍰
