Fall is around the corner and that means cooler weather!! Yea!! I have to say I cant think of anything I don't love about fall. One of my many favorite fall recipes is PUMPKIN BREAD. I love it right out of the oven with a dollop of whip cream and  a cold glass of milk. Yummy, I think I might have to make some today.
                                                    Pumpkin Bread Made Easy
                           
                                                    2 Cups all purpose flour
                                                    1/2 tsp Salt
                                                    1/2 tsp baking powder
                                                    1 tsp baking soda
                                                    1 tsp ground cloves
                                                    1 tsp ground cinnamon
                                                    1 tsp nutmeg
                                                    2 cups of sugar
                                                    3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter,softened
                                                    2 large eggs
                                                    1 (15oz) can 100% pure pumpkin
Directions
  1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Lightly grease two 8 1/2 x 41/2 loaf pans
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, baking soda and spices; set aside
  3. Beat butter and sugar on medium speed until just blended. Add eggs one at a time, beating well
      after each addition.  Continue beating until very light and fluffy, a few minutes beat in pumpkin.
  4. At low speed, beat in the flour mixture until combined.
  5. Turn the batter into the prepared pans, dividing evenly, and bake for 65 -75 minutes, or until a
      cake tester inserted into the center comes out clean. ( You can use a butter knife also)  Let the    
      loafs cool in pans for about 10 minutes, then turn out onto wire rack to cool completely.
