- 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
Instructions
- **Preheat** your oven to 350°F. Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan.
- In a bowl, **whisk** together 1 3/4 cups flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves.
- In another bowl, **beat** 1/2 cup butter and granulated sugar until fluffy. **Add** eggs one at a time, then **mix in** pumpkin puree.
- **Fold** the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined. **Tip**: Overmixing leads to tough bread.
- **Spread** half the batter into the prepared pan. **Dot** with cream cheese, then **top** with remaining batter.
- In a small bowl, **combine** brown sugar, 1/4 cup flour, and melted butter to make streusel. **Sprinkle** over batter.
- **Bake** for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. **Tip**: Cover with foil if top browns too quickly.
- **Cool** in pan for 10 minutes, then **transfer** to a wire rack. **Tip**: Slicing warm bread? Use a serrated knife for clean cuts.
Crave-worthy with a tender crumb and gooey cream cheese pockets, this bread shines with a drizzle of caramel or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
