Eggless Pumpkin Bread

This month’s Baking Partners Challenge, Pumpkin Bread as suggested by +Swathi Iyer  of Zesty South Indian Kitchen . Yesterday I tried this Eggless Pumpkin bread , it was all perfect until I heard a beep sound …..E-2 , I saw on the screen and my oven stopped working. The time I had set for the cake was 50 minutes and it barely ran for 30 minutes , to my goodness cake was cooked, yet texture was not perfect. Finally I cut the slices and taste was awesome. A bit gingery , sweet and perfect combination of pumpkin and apple sauce. But after all this , I still feel sad as it will take few days to fix my oven . Till then I have to stop baking and have to satisfy my eagerness to learn new things with cooking only. …phew !! Anyways Thanks +Swathi Iyer for this wonderful recipe .So let’s start the recipe . Yum
