of course, i didn't have any bread pans so i ordered some disposable ones with my safeway.com delivery. umm, they were soooo the wrong size. i'm not baking a loaf of wonder bread, here. so, i had to go out and get some real pans. luckily only $3.40 each or so.
the recipe says to "process the cream cheese until smooth" in the food processor. well, my cuisinart only came with to applicable blades, and i wasn't sure which to try.
the bigger one says "metal blade" (orly, you don't say), and the smaller one says "dough blade". i didn't think i needed anything chopped so i chose the dough blade since well, i'm baking. umm, maybe i should have read the instructions.
this kept happening, so i had to keep stopping to scrape the sides:
eventually, i think it turned out ok, albeit a little runny?
anyways. the dry ingredients:
melting the butter. (this ramekin only barely held the melted contents!)
my parents always believed in adding an extra egg to batter, so i did. *shrug*
i forgot we had a costco-sized bag of sugar. eep!
i'm glad i checked the can again -- it was double-sized (the recipe only called for 15 oz). now i have half a can of pumpkin and i don't know what to do with it :\
dough is done!
the middle layer cream cheese filling. i swear it looks runny :\
and now, the FAIL. i clearly do not know how to estimate "1/2". (it was use half the batter for the bottom, then the cream cheese, then the final 1/2.). GAH. lol. well, um, yeah. this will be interesting.
the loaves are currently baking in the oven now. i'm afraid to check on them. :\
UPDATE/VERDICT:
well, they turned out quite nice, and it tastes great, too! if it still is this good, the recipe must be pretty fool-proof. the cream cheese filling tastes a bit hmm....custard-y, but it's not bad. nommmmm.
i'm going to give the bigger loaf to our neighbors -- they've had me and chaddy over for taco nights several times and i haven't ever reciprocated.
