Ingredients

For the bread

  • 2 cups flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
  • 3/4 cup butter softened
  • 1 1/4 cups sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 15 oz. can pumpkin puree
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla

For the cinnamon swirl

  • 1 tablespoon cinnamon
  • 2/3 cup sugar

For the frosting

  • 8 ounces cream cheese softened
  • 1/2 cup butter softened
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 bar white chocolate

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Line 2 loaf pans with parchment paper and spray with non-stick cooking spray. In a small bowl, combine the cinnamon and the sugar for the swirl; set aside.
  • In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon and pumpkin pie spice. Whisk to combine.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Mix in the eggs, pumpkin puree and vanilla until smooth.
  • Spread 1/4 of the batter into a loaf pan. Top with 1/4 of the cinnamon sugar mixture. Add another 1/4 of the batter and top with another 1/4 of the cinnamon sugar mixture. Gently run a sharp knife through the loaf to swirl the batter. Repeat with the rest of the batter in the second loaf pan.
  • Bake for 55-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool completely on a wire rack.
  • Meanwhile, make the frosting by beating the cream cheese, butter and vanilla until smooth. Gradually add the powdered sugar until frosting reaches desired consistency.
  • Spread the frosting over the cooled loaves. Grate the white chocolate bar over the loaves to coat with white chocolate shavings.
