Ingredients
- 4 eggs
- 1 filling
- 1 egg
- 2 5/8 cups sugar
- 3 1/2 cups all purpose flour
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 cup vegetable oil
- 3/8 cup water
- 4 ounces cream cheese softened
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ginger (ground)
- 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg (ground)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Heat oven to 350F degrees.
In small mixer bowl combine all filling ingredients. Beat at medium speed, scraping bowl often, until well mixed (1-2 minutes); set aside. In large mixer bowl combine 2-2/3 cups sugar, oil, water, pumpkin and 4 eggs. Beat at low speed, scraping often, until mixture is smooth (1-2 minutes). Continue beating at medium speed, gradually adding all remaining bread ingredients and scraping bowl often, until well mixed (1-2 minutes). Place 1/4 (about 2 cups) pumpkin batter into bottom of each of 2 greased and floured 9 X 5 inch loaf pans. Carefully spread 1/2 of the filling mixture over batter in each pan; top each with half of remaining pumpkin batter. Pull knife or spatula through batter and filling to create swirl effect. Bake for 65-70 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool 10 minutes; remove from pans. Cool completely.
