How to make it

  1. Preheat oven to 350F.

    • For mini loaves - grease 3 pans.

    • For a normal loaf, line one pan with parchment paper.

  2. Sift together flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and spices.

  3. In a bowl cream together butter, yogurt, and sugar.

  4. Beat in egg.

  5. Add in pumpkin puree.

  6. Fold in dry ingredients.

  7. Batter will be very thick - spread into prepared pans.

  8. Bake for ~35-45 minutes (mini) or for 55-65 minutes (normal) loaf.

  9. Allow to cool for 1 hour.

  10. To prepare frosting - beat 1/2 cup of cream cheese until fluffy. Sift in powdered sugar. Add in vanilla.

  11. Spread on loaves and allow to drip down sides. Note you will have some extra frosting … for all that spatula licking you do along the way or for another dessert.

  12. Optional - sprinkle with toasted walnuts, almonds, or pecans.
