This pumpkin bread has been a recipe I’ve been wanting to make for quite some time. Last year I made my Cheesecake Filled Pumpkin Bread Bars and my Chocolate Pumpkin Bread, but the delicious cream cheese, pumpkin and chocolate combo of this recipe is just irresistible.

  1. Hey there, i have a question, the cake turned out absolutely delicious!! but when i was layering the cream cheese it was not easy for me to put the wet layer of the cream chess on the wet pumpkin batter. do you have tips on that step

    Reply

    1. If the cream cheese is too thick to spoon on easily, I would recommend microwaving for about 10 seconds to help melt it a bit and make it easier to spoon on the layer.

  2. hey there, vanilla is listed twice, but not mentioned twice in the instructions. Can you please advise if this is a misprint or where the extra 2 teaspoons belong? Thank you!

    1. I’m so sorry this comment got stuck in the spam filter and I just came across it. I know your meal is long gone now. I adjusted the steps of the recipe to highlight it better, that second vanilla is for the cream cheese filling.

    1. It sounds like you may have made your other layer too big. I would try and even them out more before layering them in the pan, even pouring them in separate bowls before so you know that you’re layering with the correct amount can help. Hope this helps for next time.

        1. In step 6, you’re using half of the pumpkin batter. In step 8, it states to use half of the remaining pumpkin batter for that layer and then using the rest of it in step 10. Hope this clears up any confusion.
