If and when you are looking for that perfect pumpkin loaf, this is the one. Joanna Gaines Pumpkin Cream Cheese Loaf from the Magnolia Table Cookbook Vol. 2 is soft and fluffy and the perfect cakey pumpkin loaf. I have had many people ask me for a pumpkin loaf as good as Starbucks, and I think this just might be it.
The review…
Ok, you can read any of my pumpkin posts and know that I love anything pumpkin as long as it isn’t pie. And my love extends to this recipe. It has a simple ingredient list and the flavor is everything you want it to be.
It is sweet and tangy from the pumpkin and cream cheese swirled together. And melt in your mouth soft. it is the perfect compliment to you morning cup of coffee. And it gives you all the warm fall feels.
The reaction…
I would make this pumpkin loaf every day if you let me. I love the flavor and the texture of this cake. It is pretty perfect. And it disappeared way to quickly in my house.
I am also a stickler for aesthetics and this loaf pan produces a beautiful long loaf and a nice shaped slice that is just the right size. It’s the little things that make me happy. It is the same loaf pan that I used to bake Jo’s Zucchini Bread and you see in my photos on that post.
The TIPS…
I like to line my baking pan with parchment paper. Cut a piece that will fit the length of the pan and that spills over the sides. This ensures that the loaf will come out cleanly and that it can be removed to cool easily and under control. Because this loaf smells so good that you won’t want to wait any longer than you have to.
Overall, this recipe is one that I think will make my to 10 favorites and I wouldn’t mind making year round.
Until next time, Happy Cooking!

MY FAVORITE KITCHEN TOOLS!
Here are a few links to some of my favorite kitchen tools! You get a car, YOu get a car, YOU ALL GET A CAR…in my best Oprah voice
These Rösle Silicone Tongs are a little pricey but they will last you the rest of your life and are the softest in your hand. This is important for someone like m that cooks so much. It reduces strain, I have 4 sets in my kitchen!
These are my FAVE Nordic Ware Sheet Pans, every kitchen should have at least 2 sets of these! I think I have at least 4 of each of these.
This is my favorite pressure cooker, the Fagor is the same concept as the “Instant Pot” but easier to use in my opinion, if you don’t have one you NEED one, it will be your best friend in the kitchen!
A sharp knife is the most important tool in the kitchen, these Japanese steel “Shun” knives are my favorite! And this is a great starter set to build on. Once you try them you will be in love so use this as a foundation you can build on for years to come.
This Scanpan 11″ skillet is just the right size for almost anything you will need to cook and my best friend and a real workhorse in my kitchen, it’s also a great deal at $99. Scanpan is the best in the world for healthy cooking. It is coated with a proprietary ceramic-titanium coating that is durable while allowing you to use fewer fats and oils when cooking. It is a coating only they use. I could talk all day about my love for these pans, message me if you want more info. Here are some other sizes that are available if you are looking to outfit your kitchen with some new goodies. 8″ & 10″ Skillet set or 8″ Skillet, I still need this one for my kitchen Also, I don’t really know how to cook small so the 12.5″ is my other fave!
This giant vat of olive oil is my favorite, I decant it into a smaller bottle for my counter. Or put this spigot on top of a wine bottle!
My favorite baking dish that is so easy to clean even burnt on cheese slides right off!
This Tovolo jar scraper has to be my single favorite kitchen tool, it is definitely the most used tool in my kitchen. If you are NOT a gadget person, this is the only necessity I say is a MUST beyond the wooden spoon.
A great wood spoon is essential, this Olive Wood one is my favorite, I have more than I can count. But can you really ever have too many?
A food scale can be a very important tool in your kitchen, this one is the one I use every day!
