This recipe was devised a long time ago by a mother who helped a group of first graders prepare a treat in class. There were enough ingredients for each child to lend a helping hand. Through the last 20 years, I enhanced and revised the recipe. Adults and children alike love it! Ingredients:
1/2 cup butter, softened |
1 cup sugar |
2 eggs |
1-1/4 cups canned pumpkin |
2 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
1 teaspoon baking soda |
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon |
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg |
1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice |
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves |
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger |
1/4 cup chocolate chips |
1/4 cup chopped walnuts |
glaze: |
1 tablespoon heavy whipping cream |
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, cream butter. Gradually add sugar, eggs and pumpkin. Combine dry ingredients; stir into creamed mixture and blend well. Stir in chocolate chips and nuts. Pour into a greased and floured 9-in. x 5-in. loaf pan.
2. Bake at 350° for 45-50 minutes or until loaf tests done. Cool on a wire rack. Combine glaze ingredients and drizzle over cooled bread. Yield: 1 loaf.
