Pumpkin Ribbon Bread

I found this recipe in an old Bible school cookbook. I made it and took it to work. It was a hit so will post it so others too can enjoy it. Of course I did not follow the recipe to a T!!! I will put what I used in brackets.

Filling
6 oz cream cheese (8 oz pkg)
1/3 cup sugar
1 tbsp. flour
1 egg
1 tsp. grated orange peel (1 tbsp grated frozen orange/lemon pureed - see "My Bread machine Paska"
 recipe)
Beat all of the above and set aside.

Bread
1 cup cooked pumpkin ( 394ml can)
1/2 cup oil (2/3 cup but 1/2 would have been OK))
2 eggs
1 1/2 cups sugar
1/2 tsp. each salt, cloves & cinnamon ( pinch salt, 1 tsp each cloves and cinnomon)
1 2/3 cup flour ( 2 cups or a little more?)
1 tsp. baking soda (1 1/2 tsp)
1 cup chopped pecans
mix all in order. blend well. Pour 1/4 of batter into 2 greased and floured (I just use waxed paper)
7-1/2x3- 1/2x3inch loaf pan. Carefully spread cream cheese mixture over batter. Add remaining batter, covering the filling.
Bake at 325 F for 1 1/2 hours ( probably closer to 60-70 minutes?) Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pans (oops...I did it right away!!!) Store in refrigerator.

Yield: 2 loaves
