Pumpkin Bread with Cream Cheese Filling

I found this recipe on Kraftrecipes.com and I decided to do my own revamp on it to make a bit "healthier". I don't know if I could label it as my own, but I'm going to, because I did revamp it.
So here's what I did...
INGREDIENTS:
1 cup canned pumpkin
1 cup plus 2 Tbsp. Splenda Sugar, divided
1/2 cup packed Splenda brown sugar
4 egg whites, divided(I used egg whites out of the carton)
1/2 cup fat-free milk
1/4 cup applesauce
2 cups whole wheat flour
2-1/2 tsp. Baking Powder
1/4 tsp. salt
1 pkg. (8 oz.) PHILADELPHIA Neufchatel Cheese, softened
2 Tbs The Pampered Chef Sweet Cinnamon Sprinkle

DIRECTIONS

HEAT oven to 350ºF.

MIX pumpkin, 1 cup sugar, brown sugar, 3 egg whites, milk and apple sauce in large bowl. Add flour, baking powder, spice and salt; mix just until moistened. Beat Neufchatel cheese, remaining sugar, remaining egg white and sweet cinnamon sprinkle with whisk until well blended.

SPOON half of pumpkin batter into Stoneware loaf pan; cover with layers of Neufchatel mixture and remaining pumpkin batter.

BAKE 1 hour or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Loosen bread from sides of pan; cool in pan 10 min. Remove bread from pan to wire rack; cool completely.
