I'm not a big fan of pumpkin, so I haven't tried this myself, but it sounds very good.

1/2 tsp salt (optional)
1/2 tsp cloves

1 tsp baking soda
1 cup chopped nuts (optional)

Cream cheese filling ingredients:
1 pkg cream cheese -- (8 oz.) softened
1/3 cup sugar
1 TB flour
1 egg
2 tsp grated orange peel

Combine pumpkin, oil & eggs; beat well. Add sugar, salt, cloves, cinnamon, flour, baking
soda, and nuts, mixing to blend. Pour 1/4 of the batter in 2 greased 7 1/2 x 3 1/2" bread
pans (pour 1/4 of the batter in each pan) - {OR one 9 x 5 x 3 inch loaf pan - pour in half the batter}.

REC: pumpkin-pecan meringue pie. haven't tried it yet but looks lovely...

sorry it took me a while, just getting off nights.

9" frozen deep dish pie shell
5 eggs
2/3 c brown sugar
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp nutmeg
14 oz can pumpkin puree (not pie filling)
1 c 2% or homo milk
1/4 tsp cream of tartar
3 tbsp gran. sugar
1/3 c finely chopped toasted pecans

set oven @ 450 with rack in lowest position. thaw pie shell @ room temp x 10 min. dock bottom and sides and bake 8 min till golden (spose you could do your own crust and blind bake), then cool.

whisk 2 eggs in large bowl. whisk in brown sugar, seasonings, then pumpkin till smooth. slowly stir in milk. pour into crust and smooth top. reduce oven to 325 and bake on bottom rack till just set, 55-60 min.

Separate remaining 3 eggs (you're only using the whites), and beat whites with cream of tartar to soft peaks. gradually add sugar while beating to stiff peaks. dollop over hot filling and spread so touches edge of crust, ensure it covers filling and forms some pretty peaks. sprinkle with nuts and bake on center rack @ 325 for 10-12 min till peaks are golden. cool and serve within 4-5 hrs.
