Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 9x5-inch loaf pan by greasing it and lining the bottom with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves.
  3. In a large bowl, mix together eggs, pumpkin puree, brown sugar, granulated sugar, melted unsalted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. Fold the dry mixture into the wet ingredients until just combined, ensuring not to overmix.
  5. In a small bowl, mix softened butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon until smooth to create the cinnamon swirl.
  6. Pour half of the batter into the loaf pan, dollop half of the cinnamon swirl mixture, then repeat with the remaining batter and swirl.
  7. Bake for 55 to 65 minutes, until a toothpick inserted comes out clean, covering with foil if browning too quickly.
  8. Cool in the pan for 10 to 15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. Mix together cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and milk to create the glaze.
  10. Once cooled, drizzle the cream cheese glaze over the bread and slice to serve.
