How to Make Layered Pumpkin Loaf

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x5-inch loaf pan.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin puree, 1 cup granulated sugar, ½ cup packed brown sugar, 3 large egg whites, ½ cup milk, and ½ cup vegetable oil.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice, and ½ teaspoon salt.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. In a medium bowl, beat 4 ounces Neufchâtel cheese (about ½ package), 2 tablespoons granulated sugar, and 1 large egg white until smooth and creamy.
  6. Pour half of the pumpkin batter into the prepared loaf pan.
  7. Spread the Neufchâtel cheese mixture evenly over the batter.
  8. Top with the remaining pumpkin batter.
  9. Bake for 60-75 minutes, or until a wooden toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  10. Let the loaf cool in the pan for 10 minutes before running a knife or thin spatula around the edges to loosen.
  11. Transfer the loaf to a wire rack to cool completely.
