Gluten-Free Pumpkin Cream Cheese Cake

Ingredients

• Cooking spray
• Cream Cheese Filling:
• 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
• 3/4 cup white sugar
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• Cake Batter:
• 2 cups gluten-free flour blend
• 1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin puree
• 1 1/2 cups white sugar
• 3 eggs
• 3/4 cup milk
• 1/2 cup melted butter
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon salt

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Prepare 2 loaf pans with cooking spray.

Beat cream cheese, 3/4 cup sugar, and cornstarch together in a small bowl until creamy and smooth.

Beat flour blend, pumpkin puree, 1 1/2 cups sugar, eggs, milk, butter, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt together in a large mixing bowl with an electric hand mixer set to Low until you have a thick batter.

Pour about 1/4 of the batter into the bottom of each prepared loaf pan. Spread 1/2 the cream cheese filling over each batter portion. Divide remaining batter between the two pans and spread into an even layer.

Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake, not the filling, comes out clean, about 1 hour.
