Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×5-inch loaf pan.
Mix Dry Ingredients:
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves.
Prepare Pumpkin Batter:
In a large bowl, beat butter and sugar until fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, then stir in pumpkin puree and vanilla extract. Gradually fold in dry ingredients until just combined.
Make Cream Cheese Swirl:
In a small bowl, mix cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla until smooth.
Assemble the Loaf:
Pour half of the pumpkin batter into the prepared loaf pan. Spread cream cheese mixture over it, then top with remaining pumpkin batter. Swirl gently with a knife for a marbled effect.
Bake:
Bake for 55–60 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Cool in pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
