This sounds wonderful! Did you use the cream cheese frosting on the loaves too, Manella?
I've had a lot of pumpkin breads, muffins etc. and have never had it with cream cheese frosting, I feel like I'm missing out on something good!! I must try it soon :)

Oh, just read your review Manella. Good to know it's tastes great without the frosting too! :) I bet a maple glaze would be great on it, and lactose free! A little maple syrup mixed with powdered sugar ...mm mm mm!

This does look awesome! Cosmicmother, you must try! I love pumpkin cake with cream cheese frosting. During the holidays I make pumpkin rolls which is a pumpkin sponge cake rolled up with cream cheese filling. This would be much easier!

Cosmicmom, I think the taste of the pumpkin cake with cream cheese frosting is very similar to that of carrot cake with cream cheese frosting. We love both cakes!

DIZ, cake rolls are something I've never tried. They look kinda tricky to make and, with a dexterity problem, I'm afraid I'd have a heckuva time rolling the cake without it breaking.

I think that's why I love carrot cake, because of the cream cheese frosting! So I am sure I'll love this cake! The pumpkin roll sounds good too Diz, is the cream cheese mixture mixed with whipped cream? I made a pumpkin roll with a mascarpone whipped filling once, it was yummy. The last few years I've been on a pumpkin-chocolate craze, a pumpkin cake with a dark chocolate ganache, pumpkin cheesecake with a chocolate crust and chocolate sauce, pumpkin chocolate swirl bread etc...but I will definitely try this out before year end :)

Bakerme, the pumpkin rolls are very easy, If I can do it, anyone can! All you need is a pastry towel. When the cake is hot, you dust it with powdered sugar and turn it onto the towel. Dust the back side, then use the towel to roll it up. It rolls up easily. When it cools, unroll it, frost, and roll back up again.

Cosmicmother, it's rolled with cream cheese frosting just like Bakerme's frosting recipe.

Gosh, DIZ, you make it sound so easy! I will have to work up the nerve to try one some time. They are so pretty!

Bakerme, I should clarify that when you roll it up, you roll the towel inside the cake so it separates the layers. Otherwise, the cake would stick together and you would never get it apart. Somewhere, I have photos of the rolling process.

Its great to know this works without the cream cheese frosting although that frosting sounds fabulous. A block of cream cheese and a stick of butter. Wowie wow! It sounds great.
I'm not a baker at all and I totally envy y'all who can roll up sponge cakes in powdered sugar towels. I don't think I am that brave.

Frankie, you can easily halve the recipe and bake it in an 8-inch square pan. Just halve all the ingredients except the salt; leave that at 1/2 tsp. In fact, the original recipe was for a smaller pan and I doubled it to make a larger cake. You can also easily halve the frosting, too. Bet your friends at work would love it! (Thursday is the first day of autumn - autumn, pumpkin hint hint ;)) Sometimes I don't feel like dragging out my stand mixer and just mix everything together with a whisk and that works just fine.

I love that this worked out in 3 loaf pans Manella! That would be perfect to take to a bake sale, which we have all the time. I think I would go ahead and make the cream cheese frosting because I think it would draw customers in more :) Sounds delicious and glad you loved it!

Mommyluvs2cook, if you add the cream cheese frosting, I think I would drizzle it over the tops of the loaves instead of frosting them. A nice drizzle looks pretty, too, and it might be easier to wrap the loaves in plastic wrap without sticking.

Manella, your idea has me wanting to try the cake as loaves with a cream cheese drizzle on top. :)
