Pumpkin Cheese Bread

Here is the recipe for the Pumpkin Cheese Bread I talked about in my celebrating fall post.

2-1/2 cups sugar
1 (8oz) pkg cream cheese
1/2 cup margarine
4 eggs
1 (16oz) can pumpkin
3-1/2 cups flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon cloves
1 cup chopped nuts

Combine sugar, softened cream cheese and margarine mixing until well blended. Add eggs (one at a time), mixing well after each addition. Blend in pumpkin. Add combined dry ingredients, mixing until moistened. Fold in nuts. Pour into 2 greased and floured 9 x 5 inch loaf pans. Bake @ 350 degrees for one hour and 10 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean. Cool ten minutes and remove from pans. Cool on cooling rack.

Let me know if you try this and what you think!!
