This is a very delicious, moist bread and the presentation is fabulous! I didn't have the orange zest or cloves but have added them to my shopping list before making this again! Very easy to prepare too. We plan on using this beautiful bread as hostess & teacher gifts throughout this holiday season and know that it will be enjoyed by all. Thanks Tina for this great recipe!

I saw this recipe and knew I had to try it. Didn't have all the ingredients on hand so I used a baked butternut squash and used 4oz neufchatel (low fat cr cheese) and 4oz tofu for the cream layer. It turned out GREAT! Everyone loved it and couldn't believe it was made with squash and tofu!

Took a little extra effort, but the end result was worth it. When sliced, the cream cheese leaves a very attractive stripe down the center. Great to give as a gift if you don't eat it all yourself! I wouldn't change a thing.

I made this recipe today to give as a gift but my husband got into 1 loaf first. Now I am making more. Each time I try a new recipe on this website I think it couldn't get any better but this one is absolutely tops. It makes a nice presentation and tastes wonderful. We love the orange flavor in the cream cheese filling. It was easy to make but looks & tastes like I'm a gourmet cook!

Well, I thought I was disappointed in this receipe after I got it made, but when it came out of the oven it looked good and tasted great. When I went to put the pumpkin mixture in the pans, I was careful not to but too much on the bottom layer, I just barely covered the bottom, but I still didnt have enough to cover the top, and it had to be spread in, could not pour it, it was too thick; (but the cream cheese mixture was pourable), I thought what a mess, but when it was done a hour later, it looked very pretty, kinda swirled, and when I cut it, it had a pretty ribbon of cream cheese in the middle. My husband thought it tasted delicouis!!

Oh my gosh! This is the absolute best bread!! The only thing I did was to omit the orange peel and used 1/4tsp. van. extract instead and left out cloves and increased cinnamon to 1 tsp. It came out delish, I'm tossing out all my other recipes I have for pumpkin bread! As another veiwer stated be careful not to put too much in 1st layer or cheese ends up to close to the top. I'm going to make 2 more loaves right now for Thanksgiving because we can't stop eating the ones I just made!! Thanks Tina!!!

I always love making pumpkin bread because it really seems to kick off the holiday season. For the first batch of the year, I decided to make this one b/c I saw the recipe last year and was intrigued. It was very simple to make and the cream cheese part only added a few more minutes work, but unfortunately, it didn't turn out exactly how I'd pictured. The bread is great, and the cream cheese with orange zest is ok, but it looks kind of weird! I'd wanted to keep one of the loaves and give the other as a gift, but I don't know... I think this recipe was definitely worth making, but next time I'll make the old favorite instead :o)

I really liked the aroma and taste but had one problem. The instruction for the pumpkin mixture was to "pour" it into pan, on top of cheese mixture. My batter was too thick to pour. I had to spoon it on and that made it hard to spread. Don't know what I did wrong.

This bread had the perfect amount of spice (I love spice!!) and the cream cheese added a nice touch. Although I did add too much bottom layer before adding the cream cheese. So be careful! Only need to add a very small bottom layer. Thank you!
