I knew I wanted to make a breakfast bread for Breakfast Week, and for inspiration I had three very different things in mind: my grandmother's English muffin toasting bread, my favorite thin dark 100% rye made by Rudolf's Bakery, and the fruity, nutty, seediness of the "truly everything" bagels I make.
Spiced Pumpkin Cheescake ~ A pumpkin cheesecake recipe that will melt in your mouth. Full of fall flavors like pumpkin, nutmeg and candied ginger, add in a chocolate pumpkin layer and you have the kind of dessert that begs to be your pumpkin kick off recipe.
Similar to banana bread, this moist cake is enriched with creamy buttermilk, brown sugar, butter, walnuts, and rum. Apple juice can be substituted for the rum, and pecans for the walnuts.
