1 Cup brown sugar

15 oz. canned pumpkin
1 stick of melted butter
2 Cup white flour
2tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. baking soda

Grease and flour an 11"x17" baking pan. Spread mixture evenly in pan. Bake at 350 (F) for 35 minutes, until firm or tests done with toothpick.

I haven't tried it, but supposedly you can also make drop cookies with this recipe baking the cookies for 10 min at 350.

Cake is rich enough not to need frosting, but it can be topped with sifted powdered sugar or cream cheese frosting.

I made a loaf of the Pumpking Spice Bread listed above. I did not notice that the recipe calls for 1/2 cup of water, because the water wasn't listed in the ingredients. I did not add the water, which turned out to be a good thing. My loaf was moist. If I had added the water I would have had pumpkin pudding. I also reduced the ginger to 1/4 tsp., which was satisfactory.
