Swirled Spice Loaves Recipe

Prep: 20 min. Bake: 45 min. + cooling

Yield: 24 Servings

20 45 65

Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour
1-1/3 cups sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
3/4 teaspoon salt
3 eggs
1-1/4 cups heavy whipping cream
2 tablespoons molasses
3 teaspoons vanilla extract
1-1/2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice

Directions

In a bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Beat the eggs and cream; stir into dry ingredients just until combined. Remove 1-1/2 cups batter to another bowl; stir in the molasses, vanilla and pumpkin pie spice until blended.
Spoon a fourth of the molasses batter into each of two greased 8-in. x 4-in. loaf pans. Top each with a fourth of the plain batter. Repeat layers; cut through batter with a knife to swirl.
Bake at 350° for 45-50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks. Yield: 2 loaves.
