Bread
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt

Pour cream cheese mixture over pumpkin batter. Top with reserved pumpkin batter. Cut through both layers with a knife several times for a swirl effect. Bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour and 10 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool for 5 minutes. Remove from pan.
