Ingredients

  • 1 15-ounce can pumpkin puree
  • 1 cup light brown sugar
  • 2 cups sugar
  • 1 cup butter melted
  • 4 large eggs
  • cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • teaspoons salt
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 2 teaspoons ground ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Grease two 8" x 4" pans and set aside.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, brown sugar, sugar, eggs, and melted butter. Mix well using a rubber spatula. In a separate mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves and whisk together.
  • Combine the flour mixture with the wet ingredients and stir together with a rubber spatula, mixing just until combined. Divide the batter evenly between your prepared loaf pans.
  • Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 60-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the internal temperature reaches 200 degrees F.
  • Remove from the oven and cool on a wire rack for 20 minutes, then gently run a knife around the edges of the bread and tease the bread out of the pan.
  • Allow to cool completely before slicing and serving. Enjoy!

Notes

Storing instructions: store in an airtight container, or wrapped well with plastic wrap, in the fridge for up to 5 days, or in the freezer for up to 2 months.
Make-ahead tips: you can make the batter up to 1 day in advance and store covered in the fridge.
This recipe will also yield 6 mini loaves, with a baking time of about 35-40 minutes.
