I have a pumpkin bread recipe that calls for baking in coffee cans. Sounds interesting but since i no longer drink coffee.....

In fact any can will do as long as it has high sides, paper labels removed and clean, of course. You just have to experiment a little and know how high the quick bread will rise so the dome of the bread/cake comes up ever so slightly over the edge. You can leave them in the can to give as a gift and either paint the outside of the can or glue wrapping paper or fabric around and cover the top with colored plastic wrap secured with a pretty ribbon.

Many years ago times were tough, and you didn't have disposable aluminum pans so the next best thing was cans for baking. In fact many of the cans were equal to or better than the quality of cheap pans you can purchase today.

You still can find a Boston Brown Bread baked in a can on the grocery shelves. I forget the brand but will check next time I see it if anyone is interested.
