Ingredients

Directions

  1. In a medium bowl, combine scalded milk, sugar, salt, and butter; stir until sugar dissolves and cool to lukewarm temperature.
  2. In a small bowl, sprinkle yeast over warm water and stir until completely dissolved.
  3. Combine the cooled milk mixture with the yeast mixture, then add one lightly beaten egg and half of the flour.
  4. Beat until smooth and elastic, gradually adding remaining flour until the dough is soft but not sticky.
  5. Place dough in a greased bowl, turn to grease all sides, cover with a cloth, and let rise in a warm, draft-free place for about 1 hour until doubled in bulk.
  6. Punch dough down, turn onto a lightly floured board, and roll into a rectangle approximately 22x10 inches.
  7. In a bowl, mix mashed pumpkin, sugar, cinnamon, ginger, and salt; spread evenly over the dough, leaving edges clear.
  8. Sprinkle chopped walnuts and raisins over the pumpkin mixture.
  9. Roll up the dough jelly-roll fashion from the wide side, lift to a greased baking sheet, and coil into a ring.
  10. Cover and let rise in a warm place for about 1 hour until doubled in bulk.
  11. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (177ðC).
  12. Brush the ring with egg glaze (egg yolk beaten with cold water) and bake for 30-35 minutes until well browned and hollow-sounding when tapped.
  13. While the cake bakes, mix sifted confectioners' sugar, milk, and vanilla until smooth.
  14. Frost the ring while still warm and sprinkle with remaining nuts.
  15. Serve warm or at room temperature.
