Summer is still in full swing, but doesn't it feel like we're getting whiffs of fall here and there? Maybe it's the back to school sales, or the "clearance" signs popping up on beach towels and umbrellas. Whatever the reason, there's definitely signs that fall is just around the corner. And to give you a preview of what's to come, we're giving you a taste of autumn with a new favorite recipe: Pumpkin and Cream Cheese Icing Spice Bread, by Faith Gorsky of AnEdibleMosaic.com.
We stumbled across this amazing recipe the way we usually do, by salivating over delicious-looking pictures on Pinterest and the web. The first thing that immediately called out to us was the perfect-looking cream cheese icing at the top of the loaf of the beautifully shaped mini loaf. It just looked so, so, perfect, we had to absolutely try it out and share it with you.
A steaming mug of tea and a slice of Pumpkin Cream Cheese Icing Spice Bread...heavenly fall!
The ingredients of this Pumpkin and Cream Cheese Icing Spice Bread are all evocative of fall, from the spicy aromas of the cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger and cloves, to the warm comfort of vanilla, to the muted orange reminiscent of fallen leaves. And, one might even fantasize that the layer of white cream cheese icing is a harbinger of the snows of winter? This is definitely a seasonal recipe, ideal to practice now and perfect for autumn afternoons with a warm cup of tea or coffee.
So while we're fully enjoying the last stretch of summer, we're also enjoying the taste of what's to come, and preparing for a new, exciting culinary season! Thank you, Faith, for sharing your wonderful recipe with us! Let us know what you think of this recipe in the comments.
