It's a very pretty loaf---lots of ooohs and ahhhs when I unwrapped it. I added 1tsp vanilla to the batter and made the one large loaf. It's similar to the Ribbon breads posted awhile ago, but I'm linking the blog for those who may have grown up with this type of cooking. So many recipes remind me of my Mom's and Grandma's recipes.http://mennonitegirlscancook.blogspot.com/2009/10/pumpkin-swirl-loaf.html
