Layered Pumpkin Bread


Missy posted this recipe last year. I've altered it a bit.
Bread:
1 1/2 cu. flour
1/2 tsp. salt
1 cu. sugar
1 tsp. baking soda
1 cu. pumpkin
1/2 cu. canola oil
2 eggs beaten
1/4 cu water
1/4 tsp. nutmeg
1/4 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp allspice
nuts (optional)
Filling:
1 pkg. cream cheese
2 tbsp granulated sugar
1 egg white
Preheat oven to 350 Degrees F. Sift together the flour, salt, sugar, and baking soda. Mix the pumpkin, oil, eggs, water, and spices together, then combine with the dry ingredients, but do not mix too thoroughly. Stir in the nuts (if you're using them). Beat filling in a separate bowl until well blended. Grease loaf pan well or 4 mini-loaves. Pour half of the batter into pan. Spoon half of the filling mixture evenly over the center of the batter. Cover with remaining pumpkin batter.
Bake 50-60 min. Until straw comes out clean. Turn out of pan. Cool on rack. Serve warm or cold!

I remember now! Oh yeah, I am so making that again this year. Hmm, maybe even right now.
Thanks for reminding me :)

I think I am going to try this one, too.

I can hardly look at a block of cream cheese without thinking of you.

Oh Stace, you've made me so happy! I make a pumpkin bread, and then I spread cream cheese on it, and people think I'm crazy. But you wouldn't!! You would understand!! And in fact you've done me one better, and baked it right in the bread! Oh you're wonderful!

I'd push my best friend out of the car for some cream cheese.

I hear you, Chuck. And, Stace' can work miracles with the stuff.

Hokee dinah. THAT looks good. I think I'll try this tomorrow.

I think Shannon likes your recipe. I've never seen her use so many exclamation points, ever. Well done, Stace.
