This tastes like a sweet bread. You could top with a dollup of whipped cream cheese. I got this recipe from a teacher-friend, Amanda Lemmons. She makes it with bananas instead of pumpkin. She says she has also used a chocolate cake mix with the bananas to make chocolate-banana cake. I have added pureed strawberries before and glazed witha powdered sugar glaze. I have also replaced the pumpkin with apples and glazed with a caramel glaze before. It is a versatile recipe and a baked cake freezes well!
Fall Treat!
