  • Baking Instructions

    1. Begin by blending the brown sugar and egg until smooth and light. Incorporate the pumpkin, melted butter, and fragrant brandy. Add all the remaining dry ingredients at once and mix just until well moistened.
    2. Evenly spread the batter into 2 greased and floured loaf pans or 4 mini loaf pans.
    3. For the creamy filling, combine the softened cream cheese, egg, and sugar, beating until fluffy. Gently spread the filling over the pumpkin batter and swirl it several times with a knife.
    4. Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 50-55 minutes for the large loaves or about 35 minutes for the mini loaves. Allow the loaves to cool for 10 minutes in the pans before transferring them onto wire racks. Let them cool completely before slicing.
