Pumpkin Cheesecake Bread
This layered pumpkin cheesecake bread recipe is so yummy that you will wonder where it has been all your life. Just imagine pumpkin bread sandwiching a rich layer of cheesecake lusciousness!
One of my favorite breads to eat is pumpkin bread. I love it. We always have it around the holidays but this past year, I’ve been making it year round.
Yes, pumpkin season comes only once a year, but I love that they have canned pumpkin which means I can make pumpkin goods year round!
What makes this bread so luscious? The warm taste of the spices and the dense creaminess of the cream cheese filling.

How to make this bread
Pre-pre-step
Take out the butter at least an hour before starting the recipe.
Pre-step
Pre-heat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
Get out a stand mixer, spatula and liberally grease a bread pan.
Step one
Gather the ingredients – brown sugar, cane sugar, butter, pumpkin, two eggs and vanilla.
Step two
Add the softened butter and sugars into the mixer. Turn on the mixer and mix until just combined.
Step three
Add the eggs and vanilla and mix until just combined.
Step four
Add 3/4 cup of pumpkin puree and mix until everything is just combined.
Step five
Gather the dry ingredients – flour, baking soda, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg and salt.
Step six
Add the dry ingredients to the mixer and mix until incorporated.
Step seven
Stir in the raisins.
Step eight
Spoon half the pumpkin bread batter into the bread pan and transfer the rest of the batter into a bowl as you will need the mixer for the cheesecake layer.
Step nine
Wash and dry the mixer bowl and add a package of cream cheese, sugar, an egg and vanilla. Mix until the ingredients are creamy and combined.
Step ten
Spoon on top of the pumpkin layer.
Step eleven
Spoon the rest of the pumpkin batter over the cream cheese mixture.
Bake for one hour. Since all ovens are different, check after the hour and if it needs more time, add five minutes.
Let the bread cool for 10 minutes on a wire rack before removing from the pan.
I take the bread out of the oven and let it rest on a wire rack for 10 minutes before removing it from the pan.
Look at the layers!
Then I let it cool for another half hour before slicing it.
I can barely wait, so I grab a small plate to serve a piece of this delicious pumpkin cheesecake bread.
This bread is so delicious! I’m sure it will be included in your sweet bread rotation!
