How to cook deliciously - Pumpkin Swirl Bread

1 . Stage

Preheat oven to 350°. Grease and flour three 8x4-in. loaf pans. Line the bottom of each pan with parchment; grease the papers. In a small bowl, beat the first 4 ingredients until smooth.

2 . Stage

In a large bowl, beat sugar, pumpkin, eggs, oil and water until well blended. In another bowl, whisk the flour, pie spice, baking soda, cinnamon, salt, baking powder, nutmeg and cloves; gradually beat into pumpkin mixture. Stir in walnuts, raisins and dates.

3 . Stage

Pour half of the batter into prepared pans, dividing evenly. Spoon filling over the batter to within 1/2 inch of sides of pans; cut through filling with a knife to swirl. Cover the filling completely with the remaining batter; cut through batter again to swirl.

4 . Stage

Bake until a toothpick inserted in bread portion comes out clean, 65-70 minutes. Cool 10 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks to cool completely.

5 . Stage

If desired, in a small bowl, mix confectioners’ sugar, vanilla and enough milk to reach a drizzling consistency. Drizzle over bread; sprinkle with walnuts. Cut into slices. Refrigerate leftovers.
