Storage: Keep the loaf in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 6 months. Avoid refrigeration, as it can dry out the texture.
Make-ahead Tip: The flavor and texture improve overnight, so preparing it a day in advance is recommended.
Cooling Reminder: Allow the loaf to fully cool before slicing to ensure the cream cheese layer sets properly.
Pumpkin Pie Spice Substitute: A homemade blend can be used if store-bought spice is unavailable.
