Make bread by combining pumpkin, oil, and eggs in large bowl. Add sugar, salt, cloves, cinnamon, flour, baking soda, and pecans; mix to blend.
Pour 1/4 of batter into 2 greased and floured loaf pans. Carefully spread the cream cheese mixture over batter. Add remaining batter, covering filling. Bake at 325 degrees for 1 1/2 hours or until bread tests done with wooden pick. Cool 10 minutes before removing from pans. Store in refrigerator. (Although the recipe soecifically says bake 1 1/2 hours, an hour is usually sufficient. Just need to keep checking.)

Always a hit, especially during the holidays. Hint: my cousin makes this as brownies for her kids school lunches.
