How to make Pumpkin Cake with Cream Cheese Filling:

Step 1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Generously grease a 12-cup fluted tube pan (such as Bundt(R)).

Step 2. Whisk flour, baking soda, cinnamon, cloves, salt, ginger, nutmeg, and allspice together in a large bowl. Set aside.

Step 3. Whisk pumpkin, brown sugar, and butter together in a separate large bowl until combined. Whisk in sour cream until no lumps remain. Add maple syrup, heavy cream, eggs, and vanilla extract and whisk until completely incorporated.

Step 4. Add flour mixture gradually to pumpkin mixture until just combined, most lumps are gone, and the batter is thick, being careful not to overmix.

Step 5. Beat cream cheese in a medium bowl using an electric mixer on medium-high speed until smooth. Mix in sugar, egg, and vanilla extract at medium-high speed until thoroughly combined and the filling mixture is smooth.

Step 6. Pour 1/2 of the cake batter into the prepared pan. Spoon filling over the batter, trying to avoid touching the side or center column of the pan. Pour the remaining cake batter over the filling and smooth gently using a spatula.

Step 7. Bake in the preheated oven until a bamboo skewer inserted into the center of the cake comes out fairly clean, with only a few moist crumbs, 55 to 65 minutes.

Let the cake cool for about 30 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
