I made this bread as written and enjoyed the rich dark molasses flavor. It tasted of a very moist gingerbread. One thing, I did feel it could have benefited from maybe a 1/2 cup of sugar added to the recipe. I found myself wishing for a bit more sweetness. Otherwise I loved the flavor from the spices and also how moist it was from the pumpkin (although you can't really taste the pumpkin, so if you are looking for a pumpkin bread recipe I would look elsewhere). Thanks!
