This is for a pumpkin quick bread that has cream cheese in the middle. I generally double it, and then it makes three 8 X 4 inch loaves. This recipe freezes well.
Original recipe makes 1 – 9 x 3 inch loaf

- Combine flour, 1 1/2 cups white sugar, baking soda, salt, and spices. Set aside.

Pour the remaining batter into a greased and floured 9 x 5 inch loaf pan. Pour cream cheese mixture over pumpkin batter, and top with reserved pumpkin batter. Cut through batter several times with a knife for a swirl effect.
