text: One Perfect Bite: Pumpkin Pound Cake
  From the kitchen of One Perfect Bite...This copycat recipe is patterned after the one that's used to make Starbuck's Pumpkin Pound Cake. I found the recipe while paging through the blog, Just A Pinch, and I must tell you that it makes a dessert that is simply delicious, while remaining deliciously simple to make. My only problem is that I think this loaf has been misnamed. Its texture is unlike any pound cake I've ever made, but it is an absolutely stellar pumpkin bread that I know your family enjoy. The recipe is simple enough for young cooks to make and because it uses no special equipment it can be prepared in a barebones kitchen. The loaf is moist and mildly spiced and it is an excellent keeper if it stored well-wrapped. I really liked this bread and will make it several more times before the Thanksgiving holiday. As desserts go, this one is not half-bad for you. No fat is used to make it and egg whites are used instead of whole eggs, so it certainly is more heart-friendly than most of the pumpkin desserts floating around at this time of year. I do hope you'll give this recipe a try. Here is how the bread/cake is made.

  You have to love Pumpkin Pound Cake. First of all, you have to love pound cake. And, then to feature pumpkin makes it even more spectacular.
  I used to bake a similar pumpkin cake. I had not thought of it in years.
  Now, I must say yum!
  A pound cake using egg whites is my kind of cake! Looks delicious, Mary.
