Moist & Marbled Pumpkin Spice Bread image

I am a huge fan of quick breads. I always have a few loaves in the freezer and pop them out when I need a quick item of home-made bakery to round out a meal. This is a recipe that I've been making for over 20 years. All of the flavors of pumpkin pie year-round. You just can't beat the wonderful aroma as it bakes. Quick and...

Time 1h5m

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 c flour
1 1/3 c white sugar
2 tsp baking powder
3/4 tsp salt
3 large eggs
1 1/4 c whipping cream, unwhipped
2 Tbsp molasses
3 tsp vanilla extract
1 1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice

Steps:

  • 1. Combine first 4 ingredients in a large mixing bowl. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and cream. Blend into dry ingredients until just combined. Try not to over mix.
  • 2. Remove 1 1/2 cups to another bowl. By hand, stir in molasses, vanilla, and pumpkin pie spice until blended.
  • 3. Spoon 1/4 of the molasses batter into each of two greased 8x4 loaf pans. Top each with 1/4 of the plain batter. Repeat layers. Cut through batter gently with a knife to swirl batter.
  • 4. Bake at 350 degrees for 45-50 minutes or until a knife or toothpick comes out clean. (I start checking around 40 minutes... all ovens are different.) Cool for 10 minutes before removing to wire racks to cool.
  • 5. Optional Icing: 1 cup powdered sugar 1 1/2 T. warm whipping cream (...or to desired consistency) 1/2 tsp. vanilla Mix together in a small bowl and drizzle over still warm bread on rack with waxed paper underneath. You can add a pinch of cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice to this as well, if desired.
