Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • ½ tsp ground nutmeg
  • ¼ tsp ground cloves
  • ½ tsp ground ginger
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • ½ cup neutral oil (canola or vegetable)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 ½ cups fresh pumpkin puree

  • Instructions

    1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan and line with parchment if desired.

    2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and ginger.

    3. In a separate bowl, whisk sugar, brown sugar, eggs, oil, vanilla extract, and fresh pumpkin puree until smooth.

    4. Fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined, taking care not to overmix.

    5. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.

    6. Bake for 50–60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.

    7. Let the loaf cool in the pan for 10–15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

    8. Slice and serve plain, dusted with powdered sugar, or spread with butter or cream cheese.
