Total Fall vibes with this Pumpkin Loaf Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting. A fluffy chocolate chip pumpkin loaf cake gets topped with a cream cheese frosting and cinnamon sugar. The result is rich and decadent and perfect for Halloween or cozy nights in watching spooky movies! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Baking with spices creates a kitchen smell that cannot be beaten, only perhaps by citrus in the Summer. But when Fall comes around, crisper weather and blanket season calls for ground spices! Ginger and cinnamon are my top two baking spices, so this pumpkin cake creates something really special for when the weather starts to turn! You could totally omit the frosting and it’s still a killer treat, and would definitely pass for a good breakfast… <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’ll show you how to create that gorgeous line on a loaf cake that you see in bakeries. It’s easier than you think. Simply grab some melted butter or oil, and drizzle it lengthways down the middle of the cake before using a knife to draw in a line. This creates a weakness down the cake for it to form into a blooming masterpiece! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ingredients Needed<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There are no specialist ingredients or equipment required for this bake. I can find everything I need at my local supermarket or grocery store. Also, I use a standard 2 lb loaf tin for almost all of my loaf cake recipes. You can use an 8 inch square tin instead, just bring down the bake time by 5-10 minutes. To line a loaf tin, cut a piece of baking paper that is just narrower than the length of the tin. Then place this in the tin so that it drapes over the long sides. This will make removing the bake so much easier! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
