I love to make this recipe in the fall around Halloween and Thanksgiving. It makes a great after-school snack and is nice to have on hand when friends drop by for a visit. I usually make this without the glaze. Add the glaze and suddenly it becomes dessert! This makes 2 loafs....so....freeze or give a loaf as a gift & serve the other on Thanksgiving morning while your prepping the turkey & watching the parade! This recipe freezes well for at least two months. You can substitute the cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger and cloves for 2 teaspoons of pumpkin pie spice.
Grease bottom and sides of 9x5-inch loaf pans. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Combine flour with baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger and cloves in a medium bowl. Set aside.
Using an electric mixer, cream margarine in a large bowl at low speed. Gradually add sugar and cream together on high speed until light and fluffy.
Blend in eggs and beat well.
Turn mixer to low speed and add dry ingredients, alternating with pumpkin. Begin and end with dry ingredients; blend well after each addition.
Stir in chocolate chips and 1 cup nuts.
Pour into prepared pans and sprinkle with reserved nuts.
Bake for 50-60 minutes or until loaf springs back when lightly touched in center. Glaze if desired!
Glaze:
1 cup powdered sugar
1/4 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp nutmeg
2 to 3 TBL light cream
Combine first 3 ingredients. Blend in cream until the consistency desired (should be thin).
