the most amazing pumpkin bread
Saturday, October 05, 2019
I wanted to send my college kids a care package so that gave me an excuse to bake pumpkin bread. (It's finally fall!) It just happens to be everyones favorite in our family! My girlfriend Amy makes and gifts this bread all fall and we just happened to be the lucky recipient on a few occasions.
{Um. Pass your plate, Charlie. I'll eat your icing.}
Pumpkin Bread:
4 eggs
2/3 cup water
1 cup oil (I used avocado oil)
1 15 oz can pumpkin
3 1/2 cups flour
3 cups sugar
2 tsp baking soda
1 1/2 tsp salt
2 tsp cinnamon
2 tsp nutmeg
1 tsp clove
(you can also use pumpkin pie seasoning)
nuts (optional - i don't use them)
-Beat eggs; add oil, water and pumpkin. Add dry ingredients. Mix well. Bake in a greased and floured loaf pan at 350˚ for 45-60 min until cooked through. Makes 2 regular sized loaves or 4-6 small depending on the size of your loaf pans. A good rule of thumb is to not fill your loaf pan more than 1/2 way full!
Cream Cheese Icing:
1/2 cup butter
8 oz cream cheese
4 cups powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla
-Beat until creamy!
Enjoy your weekend. Temps have just dipped in the last 24 hours and all I want to do is knit. (Naturally!)
I finished my Weekender. I quite like it! Pics next week.
Onto my new project!

ReplyDeleteI really want to thank Dr Emu for saving my marriage. My wife really treated me badly and left home for almost 3 month this got me sick and confused. Then I told my friend about how my wife has changed towards me then she told me to contact Dr Emu that he will help me bring back my wife and change her back to a good woman. I never believed in all this but I gave it a try. Dr Emu casted a spell of return of love on her, and my wife came back home for forgiveness and today we are happy again. If you are going through any relationship stress or you want back your Ex or Divorce husband you can contact his whatsapp +2347012841542 or email emutemple@gmail.com
