  1. Not great, unfortunately. A bit dry and easy to overcook. Would recommend instead making pumpkin spice bread (#71732) and adding chocolate chips if chocolate flavor is preferred. The bread is moist and flavorful and can be made quite healthily, if tips from reviewers are followed.
     
  2. SO delicious!! a huge it with my whole family.
     
  3. Great Cake and a big hit at work. I used only three eggs and it still was quite moist (maybe I will add a bit of milk as a substitute for the egg next time to keep the moisture in a bit better). I loved the golden raisins and will add more than a cup next time. Also, I had extra batter left over and made some muffins which only took 30 min. to bake instead of 45. Turned out great as well.
     
  4. This was fabulous! My kids gobbled it up and then friends dropped by and all said it was delish! When I said it had pumpkin in it, most were surprised and the kids even wanted more

Yet another feature change that has made the website less user friendly. It's sad to watch a fantastic site deteriorate over the years. Some of my recipes are on my blog.
