butterscotch pumpkin raisin nut bread
(2 ratings)
This originally was my basic Pumpkin Bread recipe, then I tweaked it, & then tweaked it some more, till I finally came up with this version. While it can be served plain,& can also be baked in 2 loaf pans or Bundt pan , I chose to bake it in my one piece cake pan that looks like 3 layers. Since Halloween and Thanksgiving are approaching, I chose to frost it with Cream Cheese frosting and then garnish it with these miniature Pumpkin candies and the candy corns. You can also garnish it with fresh fruit, if you like, blueberries & raspberries are very good,as well as maraschino cherries.
