Ingredients
Dry Ingredients:
- 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- ½ teaspoon ground ginger
- ¼ teaspoon ground cloves
- ½ teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients:
- 1 cup pumpkin puree canned or homemade
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- 2 eggs large
- 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup milk
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×5 inch loaf pan to ensure the bread doesn’t stick.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cloves, and salt. This step ensures that the spices are evenly distributed throughout the bread.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, beat together the pumpkin puree, oil, eggs, sugar, vanilla extract, and milk until well combined. The mixture should be smooth and creamy.
- Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the bread dense.
- Pour and Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Bake in the preheated oven for 60-70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. The top should be golden brown and slightly cracked.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing. This helps the bread set and makes it easier to slice.
