"Dry cake mix makes this and easy recipe with flavorful results. I've tried this recipe in the form of cup cakes, sheet cake, bundt cake and mini loaves and all were exceptional! Cream cheese or cream cheese frosting go well, but they are just as good without! I found this recipe on the Grandma's Brand Molasses label."

wow, grandma makes a good pumpkin bread and easy. I love molasses and the combination with the pumpkin was really good. I used the mild stuff, but next time I will use Grandma's robust version. Good pumpkin bread, now will be our favorite recipe
