Pumpkin Pie Spice Bread

This pumpkin bread is so moist and delicious! I found the recipe on recipezaar and played with the spices a touch -- using pumpkin pie spice instead of the cinnamon and nutmeg called for and also adding extra vanilla.

I baked it in my Nordic Ware Pumpkin Harvest Loaf Pan that always gets me in a fun fall mood. I think I did not spread the batter in the pan well enough, just kind of scooped it in there, and that is why I ended up with the little bubbles on the cute pumpkin patch design. Honestly, I think it turned out kind of ugly this time around, I tried to fix it up with powdered sugar, but that didn't help either...oh-well.

Pumpkin Pie Spice Bread

adapted from recipezaar

1/2 cup butter
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla
1 1/2 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup pumpkin puree
1/2 cup sour cream
2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice

Cream the butter and sugar together. Stir in the eggs and vanilla. Stir flour, baking soda, and salt together and add to the butter and sugar. Add the pumpkin, sour cream, and pumpkin pie spice, mix together.

Pour into prepared loaf pan and bake at 350F for 1 hour -- I think I had to bake for about 1 hour 10 minutes until it tested done.

Even thought it wasn't pretty, it sure was delicious! Even picky husband and kids liked this one :)
