Swirled Spice Loaves Recipe

Swirled Spice Loaves Recipe

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/3 cups sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 1/4 cups whipping cream
  • 2 tablespoons molasses
  • 3 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
  1. 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.
  2. Spoon a fourth of the molasses batter into each of two greased 8-in. x 4-in. x 2-in. loaf pans. Top each with a fourth of the plain batter. Repeat layers; cut through batter with a knife to swirl.
  3. Bake at 350 degrees F 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.
