Lovely pumkin bread! I made this in a bundt pan, and sprinkled it with icing sugar - gorgeous! I doubled the cinnamon and cut back the cloves a little bit (used about 2/3 tsp.) It is out of this world delicious with the spices. Thanks so much for sharing this special recipe, Carol! Made for My 3 Chefs.
