Is it bread? Or, is it a cake? We will let you decide. This pumpkin bread cake recipe is easy and fast to make. It is extremely moist when you use fresh pumpkin that is juicy. Make and serve pumpkin bread cake all Autumn long. Place it on the Halloween party and Thanksgiving dinner dessert table, too.
Some pumpkin breads use a cake mix. However, this recipe is made from scratch. Fresh, homemade baked goods always taste better than recipes that use boxed cake mix. But, don’t take our word for it. Rather, make this pumpkin bread cake recipe and taste the difference!
This bread cake is excellent for freezing. But, it is so good that we suspect there will be little left to freeze after you serve it in any Fall setting. Freeze it for up to one month.
