Made it yesterday in 2 loaf pans because we did not need to eat a whole cake. In my oven cooked it for 55 min. Looking for the can of pumpkin, I found a jar of pumpkin butter (10 oz) that needed to be used. And I reduced the sugar to 2 cups. (The pumpkin butter has 9 grams of sugar where a can of pumpkin has 5 grams of sugar.) I had fresh cranberries from the farm. I did not bother with the glaze because I like cream cheese on my pumpkin and cranberry breads when I have them for breakfast. It is very moist, very tasty. I will keep it for a repeat performance.Reply
