Pumpkin Pound Cake

This is arguably the most beautiful pound cake I've ever seen.

I cannot believe how good this stuff is. At our residence, we're jokingly calling it 'pumpkin crack cake'. I cranked out two loaves, and they disappeared.. made two more.. now there's only a bit of one left. Oh, help us.

 This could be considered a copycat of Starbucks' pumpkin pound cake, but I have no idea how they make theirs. Besides, this one is better. It's just, that's how good this stuff is. It's kind of scary addictive.

Traditionally, pound cake is made with butter, but you're not going to miss it in this recipe.

It's dense, thick and moist and perfect. Everything a pound cake should be.

Ingredients 
    1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour (or all purpose)
    1/2 tsp cinnamon
    1/2 tsp salt
    1/2 tsp baking soda
    1/2 tsp baking powder
    1/4 tsp pumpkin pie spice
    1/4 tsp nutmeg
      
    15 oz pumpkin puree (1 can)
    4oz (1/2 cup) yogurt (I used a 'pumpkin pie' yogurt, but those are seasonal. This will still work and taste just as amazing with vanilla)
    6 tbsp egg beaters
    1 1/2 cups stevia in the raw (or other suger substitute)
    1/4 tsp almond extract

Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Combine flour, cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice, nutmeg, baking soda, baking powder, and salt and whisk well. In a separate bowl, mix together a can of pumpkin puree, yogurt, egg beaters, almond extract, and baking stevia until completely blended. Pour the wet mixture into the dry and beat with an electric beater until cake batter is smooth.
Grease or spray a large loaf pan or two mini loaf pans. (I used two 5 3/4 x 3 x 2 1/8 inch pans.)
Pour batter equally into each pan, and bake for an hour.
Let cool or enjoy warm.

- Dust with powdered sugar for fun :)
