Pumpkin Nut Pound Cake

So I can't really say this is a healthy recipe although I tried where I could.  But since tomorrow is the first day of fall, I had to make and share it with you. Let me know what you think!  Don't forget to follow me on Facebook!

Ingredients:

-3/4 cup sugar

-1/2 cup firmly packed light brown sugar

-3/4 cup of softened butter (I used butter made with olive oil & sea salt)

-2 eggs

-1 cup solid packed pumpkin

-1 3/4 cup flour (I used whole wheat flour)

-1/2 cup finely chopped or ground pecans

-1 tsp baking soda

-1/2 tsp salt

-1 1/2 tsp cinnamon

-1/2 tsp allspice

-1/4 tsp nutmeg

-Glaze (powdered sugar & water)

-sliced almonds

Directions:

1.  Combine sugars, butter and eggs in a large bowl.

2.  Using a mixer or by hand, beat until fluffy.

3.  Add pumpkin; beat just until blended.

4.  Combine flour, pecans, baking soda, salt & spices. Gradually add to batter, beating well after each addition.

5.  Pour in greased 9x5 inch loaf dish.

6.  Bake at 325 degrees for 75-80 minutes or until toothpick (inserted into center) comes out clean.

7.  Remove from pan and let cool.

8.  Drizzle with glaze and sprinkle with sliced almonds.

**Glaze-combine 1 cup of powdered sugar with 2-3 tbsp of water. 

It turned out to be more of a pumpkin bread than a pound cake but absolutely delicious!
