Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 9x9 inch square pan or bundt cake pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine packed brown sugar, flour, and cinnamon to create the swirl topping. Pour melted butter over mixture and stir until clumps form.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together pumpkin butter, pumpkin puree, melted coconut oil, maple syrup, eggs, and vanilla until smooth. Gradually mix in flour, baking powder, baking soda, and kosher salt until just combined.
  4. Spoon half of the batter into the prepared pan. Dollop the cream cheese mixture across the batter and sprinkle with half of the cinnamon swirl.
  5. Spread the remaining batter over the first layer and sprinkle with remaining cinnamon swirl and cinnamon sugar.
  6. Bake for 55-65 minutes, until the center is set and a toothpick comes out clean. Let cool for about 10 minutes.
  7. Transfer the cake to a wire rack or serving platter and serve warm or at room temperature.
