Now I'm Going to Feed You

I love this time of year. The weather cools down and my oven heats up. I especially love cooking with pumpkin. There is just nothing that says fall better than pumpkin and spices!!! 
I tested out this recipe this weekend. I created it last fall, but wanted to test it out with fresh pumpkin puree... and to maybe have a treat... =-) It is so good my neighbor told me she is kidnapping the rest of it this morning so it will not go to waste while we are in Austin. Try it out and let me know what you think!!
Here is my pumpkin bread with orange glaze.

Pumpkin Bread with Orange Glaze

2 cups all purpose flour

2 tsp cinnamon

½ tsp ground ginger

¼ tsp ground cloves

1 tsp baking soda

1 tsp baking powder

½ tsp salt

1 ½ cups sugar

¾ cup vegetable oil

3 large eggs

1 tsp vanilla extract

3 cups pureed pumpkin

Glaze Ingredients

1 cup confectioners sugar

1 tsp orange zest

1 tbs orange juice

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Sift together flour, spices, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. In a separate bowl, mix sugar, oil, eggs, and vanilla. Combine both mixtures adding the dry a little at a time. Fold in the pumpkin puree. Pour into a 13x9 cake pan that has been buttered and floured.

Bake for 45 minutes to an hour. Toothpick should come out clean when inserted in the middle. Cool for 5 minutes then pour on glaze.

Glaze:

Mix all ingredients together until smooth. If glaze is too thick add more juice or if too thin add more confectioners sugar.

Enjoy!!!
