Lost Bread Pumpkin Cake

Submitted by Chaeign

"I found this recipe when looking for uses for lost (stale) bread. You can use smaller bread, rolls, etc. as long as the volume is about the same. Six slices will fill my four-cup glass measure. This is delicious warm from the oven, with whipped cream."
