This is a question, actually. I just tried this recipe and it doesn't seem cooked in the middle -just around the very edges seem cooked and when you cut it - the whole inside is much darker - is it supposed to be that thick and dense? I did use extra pumpkin so I will just use the 1 cup next time, but I am wondering if it will really make a difference? Is this a thick, heavy bread?

I have been making this recipe in 3 states for friends, family and grandchildren. It is a hit everywhere. Easy to make; in TX, it needs 1.25 hours to bake in a gas oven. Warmed by the slice, it makes a great breakfast for late teens.

I am making my fourth batch of this recipe, and it is easy with good results. I found a nice switch for it, that makes it "fluffier." I ran out of sugar on the second round. I used one cup of granulated sugar and two cups of confectioner's sugar, and it really lightened the bread up. Either way, it's an easy, great recipe.
