Pumpkin Cake/ or Bread image

This is a really moist rich pumpkin cake, that if baked in loaf pans instead of a 9x13 pan, makes really good sweet bread as well. When I make it as a cake, I either serve it with whipped cream, or frost it with cream cheese frosting. CREAM CHEESE FROSTING: 1/2 cup soft butter, 8oz. softened cream cheese, and enough powdered sugar to sweeten to taste, and make a good spreading consistency (maybe 2 cups?) Beat till smooth.
