Yield: 1 (8½ x 4½-inch) loaf | Servings: 8
Ingredients:
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon ground cloves
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup white sugar
- ¼ cup light brown sugar
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¾ cup canned pumpkin puree
- ¾ cup vegetable oil
Directions:
Step 1: Preheat and Prepare
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8½ x 4½-inch loaf pan. Set aside.
Step 2: Mix Dry Ingredients
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, ground nutmeg, cinnamon, cloves, baking powder, and salt. This ensures the spices are evenly distributed.
Step 3: Combine Wet Ingredients
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, white sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla extract on high until smooth. Add the canned pumpkin and vegetable oil, and mix until fully combined.
Step 4: Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures
Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture. Stir until the batter is smooth and no lumps remain.
Step 5: Bake and Cool
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for about 70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let the bread cool in the pan for 30 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Once completely cooled, slice and enjoy!
Cook’s Note:
This bread freezes wonderfully. Wrap individual slices in plastic wrap, place them in a resealable bag, and store in the freezer. To enjoy later, microwave a slice on high for about 45 seconds—it will taste fresh out of the oven!
