Super Duper Pumpkin Cake...or Bread!

This recipe is full of great antioxidants from the pumpkin (lots of Vitamin A) as well as good Omega 3 fats from the Extra Virgin Olive Oil and Walnuts. This is a very moist cake which is easily made in a sheet pan so it works great for potlucks or picnics. It is very delicious and pretty healthy.

Special note for Debbie ~ I've also made this as bread...just place into a prepared bread pan and cook for 50 to 60 minutes or until toothpick inserted comes out clean.
