Chocolate Swirled Brown Sugar Pumpkin Loaf

Are you looking for something pumpkiny and delicious to bake? This Chocolate Swirled Brown Sugar Pumpkin Loaf will do just the trick!

This flavourful Chocolate Swirled Brown Sugar Pumpkin Loaf makes a delicious weekend treat. When I saw the recipe for this loaf in a recent edition of Canadian Living, I knew I was going to have to make it.

Though I'm sure the original recipe for this loaf would have been delicious, I decided I wanted something simpler to bake. I also wanted to make sure that the flavour of pumpkin came through and wasn't covered up with the strong flavour of the candied ginger and too much chocolate.

The loaf came out moist, tender and flavourful. It's perfectly sweetened and the spices are nicely balanced and not overwhelming, which lets the flavour of both the pumpkin and chocolate come through.

The loaf is simple to make and doesn't take much preparation work. It's perfect when you need a simple dessert, it makes a nice afternoon snack and if you are willing to part with it, this loaf would make a nice little gift.

Next time I make this loaf I plan on adding some of my Maple Spiced Walnuts, I think they would make a great addition to this loaf and give it a nice little crunch. Enjoy!
