Ingredients

  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1/3 cup olive oil softened
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp nutmeg
  • 1/4 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 cup flour

Cheesecake Ribbon Mixture

  • 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 1/3 cup sour cream
  • 1 egg

Instructions

  • In a large mixing bowl, beat butter and sugar until blended and fluffy.
  • Add egg and beat until combined and light and fluffy.
  • Mix in the pumpkin puree and vanilla extract.
  • Add sifted flour and all dry ingredients. Mix on low speed until blended. Set aside and make the cheesecake mixture.

Cheesecake Ribbon Mixture

  • In a large mixing bowl, using an electric mixer, add cream cheese and sugar, mix on low-medium speed until no lumps of cream cheese is showing. Add sour cream and egg, mix until smooth.

Assembling

  • Pour 2/3 of the pumpkin batter into a greased loaf pan. Scoop all of the cheesecake mixture into the pan. Pour remaining 1/3 of the pumpkin batter down the centre of the pan, long side. Use a dining knife to draw crisscross down the loaf to mix the pumpkin batter in the centre to each short sides of the pan. The pumpkin batter is sticky and not as pliable as the cheesecake mixture so go slow and gentle.
  • Bake at 350 F for 60 minutes until fully baked through when toothpick comes out clean in the middle of the loaf. Cool completely before slicing.
