Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Cut a small potimarron (or pumpkin) in half and remove the seeds. Place the halves, cut side down, on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Roast in the oven for about 45-60 minutes or until the pumpkin is tender when pierced with a fork.

Step 2

Let the roasted pumpkin cool slightly, then scoop out the flesh and place it in a blender or food processor.

Step 3

In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter, sugar, pumpkin puree, eggs, and vanilla extract. Set aside.

Step 4

In another bowl, mix the flour, baking soda, and spices.

Step 5

Gradually sift and incorporate the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients. Be careful not to overmix to keep the cake moist! :)

Step 6

Pour the mixture into a cake pan and bake at 180°C (350°F) for approximately 45-50 minutes.

Step 7

Allow the cake to cool while you prepare the frosting.

Step 8

For the frosting, simply mix the cream cheese with powdered sugar.

Step 9

You can add 2 to 3 tablespoons of milk gradually until you achieve the desired texture for the frosting.

Step 10

Once the cake has cooled, spread the cream cheese frosting evenly over the top of the pumpkin bread.

Step 11

Slice, serve, and enjoy!
