"If you are a pumpkin lover like me, then here is an all-time winner.... I must have collected hundreds of pumpkin recipes over the years..this recipe from my 10 star cake collection...and it is just what the heading says, amazingly delicious...If desired these could be baked in mini loaf pans, but remember to adjust the baking to a less time, and also the chocolate chips could be replaced with chopped walnuts."

Oh my. We had high hopes for this, based on the former reviews, but there were just too many tastes going on. Lemon, cloves (waaay too much), pumpkin, and chocolate just didn't end up jelling at all. The top burned while the batter remained still raw in the middle. I didn't dare try to continue to cook it further. Based on the "amazing" review, again, I had high hopes, but again, they just didn't pan out.

THE best pumpkin bread in this world! It just could not get any better than this, simply AMAZING kit!

This is the best pumpkin bread recipe I have found thus far. It's very moist without being undercooked. That said, I had to cook the loaf for approximately 90 minutes. I also tried this exact recipe, but substituted bananas, for a banana bread. Unfortunately, that one didn't work out so well.

This is awesome! It makes a big loaf and the taste is fantastic. It took 90 minutes to bake and I covered it with foil for the last 20 minutes so the top wouldn't burn. Next time I'm going to bake it in mini loaf pans just so that we don't have to wait as long to eat it.
