What's the secret ingredient in these cakes? Pudding mix. It not only adds flavor but it gives the cake a richer, creamier texture. No one will know your secret ingredient!
Pumpkins aren't just for pies or Halloween decorations. These large, orange gourds - while naturally sweet - also work well in savory dishes. They pair well with poultry and pork (and especially bacon) and their creamy-when-cooked texture blends easily into soups.

This was just ok to me..maybe I don't like the choice of whole-grain bread I used. It seemed a little soggy to me... maybe I didn't bake it enough. Maybe I was trying to compare it to a dish I had a disneyworld.
