The President’s Pumpkin Bread
"Mom clipped this one and makes it periodically for Thanksgiving as a cake with cream cheese frosting. I like mine with a gentle dusting of powdered sugar. The clip is so old and yellowed I can’t figure out which president was a fan of this bread."

This made for a moist and delicious pumpkin bread. I used applesauce in place of the vegetable oil and cooked it in a bundt pan. I topped it off with a thin layer of cream cheese icing. Yummy! Made for Summer, 2009 Photo Tag. -
So moist, and perfect if every way! I made this in a 13x9 pan and cooked it for about 30 minutes. Oh boy was it good. I just dusted it with confectioners sugar for a garnish. I brought it to work and it disappeared alomost immediately. Yum! -
VERY, VERY NICE TASTING PUMPKIN BREAD, & will be making this one again! I was going to add some cranberries to it but then decided instead to serve it with some homemade cranberry butter on the side! Definitely great for gift-giving during the winter holidays! Thanks for posting the recipe! [Tagged, made & reviewed in the Election Eats Tag Game] -
This pumpkin bread hit the spot! What better way to celebrate fall and the upcoming holidays! I doubled the recipe to make 2 loaves because one is just never enough - lol! Made for the Election 08 tag game! -
this was quite good, however we found the clove flavor to be too pronounced next time we will reduce the cloves to 1/2 teaspoon

<p>I come from a long line of wonderful cooks and doing my best to hold up that tradition. My great-grandparents owned a coffee shop; my Nana was also a great cook and started the tradition of baking around the holidays, both cookies and fruitcakes. After she died, now a decade ago, our family decided to continue in her honor. The picture above is my mother's (Chef Hot Pans) dining room table just before we packed up our Christmas cookie trays. More that 20 kinds of cookies, many of which are from 'Zaar recipes. <br /> <br />I myself am an amateur cook with a penchant for ethnic foods and spice. Currently reforming my menu in favor of healthy dishes lower in fat with lots of grains and vegetables. My favorite cuisines are Mexican, Southwestern and North African. <br /> <br /> <br />Some of my favorite public cookbooks include:</p>
