Okay, so this blog is going to turn into to '101 great ways to get fat' but anyway.... This is a picture of the pumpkin loaf I made this evening. Mmmm...
Layered Pumpkin Loaf
Ingredients:
1 cup canned pumpkin
1 cup plus 2 tbsp granulated sugar
1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar
4 egg whites, divided
1/2 cup skim milk
1/4 cup canola oil
2 cups flour
2 1/2 tsp magic baking powder
2 tsp pumpkin pie spice*
1/4 tsp salt
1 pkg cream cheese, softened
* 1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp ginger
1/4 tsp cloves
Preheat oven to 350 degrees farenheit. Grease a non-stick 9x5 inch loaf pan; set aside. Mix pumpkin, 1 cup granulated sugar, the brown sugar, 3 of the eggs whites, milk and oil in a large bowl. Add flour, baking powder, pie spice and salt; stir just until moistened. Set aside. Beat cream cheese spread, remaining 2 tbsp granulated sugar and the remaining egg white with wire whisk until well blended.
Spoon half of the pumpkin batter into prepared pan; spoon cream cheese mixture evenly over the batter. Cover with remaining pumpkin batter.

I want to eat it but finding cream cheese and canned pumpkin here is a bitch.

I don't know what I'd do if I was forced to live in an area where I couldn't find cream cheese!! Pumpkin can be tricky here too - they either only have pumpkin pie mix, or only have plain pumpkin... The worst thing we found is in most stores in our area (on the Quebec side), it's often very hard to find chili and tuna helper (love both).. ;)
Hmmm wonder if I mailed you one if it'd make it in time for you to eat it? How many days does it take for mail to get to Japan?? :)
