Super Moist Pumpkin Bread

Apple Cake

This delectable Apple Cake has a slightly crunchy crust and a soft moist center that is loaded with chunks of sweet apple and pecans. It is perfectly spiced with cinnamon, ground cloves and nutmeg. It is lightly drizzled with an easy four ingredient caramel sauce. I make this cake several times each fall for bake sales, potlucks and family and friend get-togethers.

Easy Ratatouille

This easy ratatouille recipe is a classic summer French stew filled with vibrant, colourful and nutritious vegetables: tomatoes, zucchini and eggplant. It is a low-carb, gluten-free and vegan dish that can be made in one pan and served atop greens or grains, as a side to a main entrée, or all on its own.

THANK YOU to @Becki and @Kristen for emailing me a copy of the recipe so quickly! They’re truly the life savers here.

Original recipe:

Ingredients
• 3 cups Sugar
•3-⅓ cups Flour
•2 teaspoons Baking Soda
•½ Tablespoons Baking Powder
•1-½ teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Nutmeg
. 1 teaspoon Ground Cloves
• 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
•4 whole Eggs
• 1 can Pumpkin (15 Oz.)
• 1 cup Oil
• 1 cup Water
• 3 strips Aluminum Foil

Preparation
•Add wet ingredients (eggs, pumpkin, oil, water) to the dry ingredients all at once.
•Mix well with a mixer till smooth and the delicious smell makes you start drooling slightly.
•Grease 3 loaf pans (9×4) and pour equal amounts of the yummy batter into each pan.
•Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes to an hour. You’ll know it’s ready when the top will start cracking and when you put a toothpick/knife in, it comes out clean.
•Set out to cool for about 5 minutes.
•Here’s the trick on keeping it SUPER moist. After letting it cool for about 5 minutes, take out a roll of aluminum foil. Pull out a large piece and then turn over the pan to drop one of the loaves right smack in the middle. Quickly fold the foil over (taking care not to burn the crap out of your fingers) and secure very tightly. Then set aside and let it cool off while being wrapped in the foil.
Repeat and do the same to the other 2 loaves.

Donna – please post the orignal recipe! Like others below, I always used the link and didn’t write it down. @Kristin E. – would you be so kind to post the recipe – it seems you’re the only person that has it now! Thank you!
