This cake has a tender crumb , is not as leaden as the usual pumpkin scratch , even though it uses part whole - wheat berry flour and it slices attractively . The pureed winter squash or pumpkin gives it the golden colour ; utilize pecans or walnut tree . You could make a frosting for it by combining a 3 - snow leopard parcel of buffer emollient cheeseflower with a few tablespoons of pure maple syrup and few driblet of vanilla extract ; immix ingredients to blend well and taste for fragrancy and aline with a lilliputian more sirup . This create a thin frosting – just enough for two loaves . It is great served plain , just as it is , with a loving cup of tea leaf or coffee . The formula can easy be halved to make just one loaf , however , while you are at it make two and freeze one for later or give it as a gift . Sometimes I make smaller loaves for gift - giving – this recipe will make six 3 x 5 - inch loaves .
