Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan and line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger. Set aside.
In a large bowl, mix together the pumpkin puree, granulated sugar, brown sugar, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
In a separate bowl, beat the cream cheese until creamy and smooth. Mix in the 1/4 cup of granulated sugar, the egg, and 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract until the mixture is well blended and creamy.
Pour half of the pumpkin batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it evenly. Dollop the cream cheese mixture over the batter and gently spread it to form an even layer. Add the remaining pumpkin batter on top and smooth it out.
Using a knife or skewer, gently swirl the batter and cheesecake layer together to create a marbled effect.
Bake in the preheated oven for 55-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Serve at room temperature or chilled. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
