Pumpkin loaf

I was going to make a potato loaf after reading the topic "What to do with leftover mashed potato", but I only had mashed pumpkin left over and thought that would do. I modified the rest of the recipe. The family enjoyed it tonight, said its a good one. The top of the loaves did peak and crack, (too much of something!).

Cream these together
150 gm butter
3/4 cup sugar
1 cup of mashed pumpkin

Add
2 eggs and 1/4 cup of milk

Add dry ingredients
1 and 3/4 cups of self raising flour
1/2 cup of dried fruit
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp mixed spice

Cook for 45 min at 180 or until done in two small loaf tins or one large one.
