    Pumpkin Bread With German Cheesecake Swirl

    Moist Pumpkin Bread w/ Quark Recipe

    This Is A Sponsored Post That Contains Affiliate Links

    Pumpkin must be my very favorite Fall obsession (I am sure like it is for so many other people as well). Anything from pumpkin spice lattes (yes, that stereotypical) to pumpkin soup and all the in betweens - sign me up! I have started using it more and more after moving to the United States, which is probably due to the fact that it's so easily accessible in cans saving quite a bit of time. Germany, if you're reading this, I have gotten a few requests for pumpkin purée from my fans, so please someone make it. 😉

    Pumpkin Bread Is Where It's At!

    Today I am presenting to you a sweet pumpkin bread with a German cheesecake swirl using quark (the high-protein German dairy I always brag about), which adds a creamy layer of deliciousness. You're probably able to find a local quark producer near you, but if you don't, I like Vermont Creamery's quark available at most Whole Foods stores (if they don't carry it, request it, and there is a good chance they will get it in for you). One of these days, I will also attempt to make it myself and post a recipe for it. I hear it's not very difficult, but mostly time consuming.

    A Liqueur Like NONE OTHER!

    Speaking of pumpkin... you absolutely HAVE TO try this liqueur if you're a pumpkin spice lover like I am! Mozart Chocolate Cream Pumpkin Spice Liqueur from Salzburg, Austria, has a beautiful orange color and is sweet with lots of seasonal spice and a hint of chili. It will definitely help you create a different kind of the oh so popular pumpkin spice latte! To find out availability in your area, complete the form on the distributor's website.

    Pumpkin Spice Latte with Mozart Chocolate Cream Pumpkin Spice Liqueur

    • 2 shots of espresso (I love Illy espresso!)
    • 12 ounces of milk
    • 2 ounces Mozart Chocolate Cream Pumpkin Spice Liqueur (plus more for garnish)
    • whipped cream
    • ground cinnamon (for garnish)

    Steam milk and pour liqueur and espresso into it, top with whipped cream, more liqueur and a sprinkle of cinnamon. Prost!

    Pumpkin Bread With German Cheesecake Swirl Recipe (Makes 3 7x3 Inch Loaves):

    Pumpkin Bread:

    • 4 eggs
    • 1 c (240 ml) vegetable oil
    • ⅔ c (175 ml) water
    • 3 ½ c (420 g) all-purpose flour
    • 2 teaspoons baking soda
    • 1 ½ teaspoon sea salt
    • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
    • 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
    • ½ teaspoon ground cloves
    • ½ teaspoon ground ginger
    • pumpkin seeds for topping

    German Cheesecake Swirl:

    • 7 oz (200 g) Quark
    • 1 egg
    • 1 tablespoon sugar
    • ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract

    Method:

    1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees and Fahrenheit and prep loaf pans by greasing and dusting with flour, shaking off excess flour.
    2. Sift together all dry ingredients for the pumpkin bread in one bowl and combine all wet ingredients in another, larger bowl. Gradually add dry ingredients to the wet ones, staring until just combined.
    3. Combine ingredients for the quark swirl.
    4. Fill loaf pans a third of the way with the pumpkin bread batter, add in half of the quark mixture and swirl around, finish with the pumpkin bread batter. Finally, distribute the remaining quark mixture and swirl once more. Sprinkle with pumpkin seeds and bake for 60 minutes in the preheated oven or until a toothpick comes out clean. Enjoy!

      This looks so yummy! Where can you get quark or what is a good substitute?

        I can usually find some at Whole Foods if you have one closeby. Vermont Creamery sells their quark there (from my experience, if they don't carry it currently, you can request for them to get it in for you). You could also call on local cheese or European grocery stores to see if one carries it. At some point, I also want to post a recipe for how to make your own quark. Good luck!

    Hallo, I'm Sophie!

    I am so happy that you are here at my German food and recipe blog named dirndl kitchen! Let's cook and bake authentic German recipes to help us feel closer to Germany!

    I moved from Germany to the United States in 2009 and soon started to terribly miss the German food (okay, my family, too)! I still miss a nice weekend brunch with crusty Brötchen (rolls) and Teilchen (pastries), Döner Kebab and German cake and coffee time at 15 o'clock! So I decided to educate my fellow Germany-missing friends by writing about German food and traditions. I do so in a fun way with easy-to-follow recipes! I hope you stay a while and bookmark some recipes, so we can cook and bake together.

    Mit viel Liebe (with much love)
