This bread is just double duty delicious. It is supposed to have a cheesecake swirl in it, but I mixed mine in the batter:( Next time I will make sure I don’t do that because it looks pretty when you can see that sweetened cream cheese. It is moist, full pumpkin flavor and I know your family will love it. Plan to bake this one on your baking day!
