This is an extremely moist and flavorful pumpkin bread.It has less flour than the other pumpkin bread recipes I've tried which makes it very tender and cakelike.I think it's absolutely delicious especially with cranberries added.If you don't like nuts leave them out...it's just as good without them.The recipe comes from Sunset magazine and it's so delicious that I had to share it.Hope you enjoy it as much as I did! Ingredients:
2 cups flour |
1 1/4 cups firmly packed brown sugar |
1 cup sugar |
1 cup cranberries, halved (optional) or 1/2 cup raisins (optional) |

1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda |
1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon |
1 1/4 teaspoons nutmeg |
3/4 teaspoon salt |
3/4 teaspoon clove |
1/2 teaspoon allspice |
1/2 teaspoon ginger |
