🌰 Joy Of Cooking Pumpkin Bread Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour, spooned into measuring cup and leveled-off
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1½ sticks (¾ cup) unsalted butter, softened
- 2 cups sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 (15-oz) can 100% pure pumpkin (I use Libby’s)
🥮 How To Make Joy Of Cooking Pumpkin Bread
- Set a rack in the middle of the oven and heat it up to 325°F. Grease two 8-by-4-inch loaf pans with butter and dust them with flour.
- You can also use a baking spray that has flour in it, like Baker’s Joy or Pam with Flour.
- Mix the flour, salt, baking soda, baking powder, cloves, cinnamon, and nutmeg together in a medium-sized bowl.
- Combine everything with a whisk and set it aside.
- The butter and sugar should be mixed on medium speed in a big bowl of an electric mixer.
- One at a time, add the eggs and beat well after each one. Another few minutes of beating will make it very light and fluffy. Add the pumpkin and mix it in.
- At this point, the blend may look grainy and curdled. That’s fine.
- On low speed, add the flour mixture and mix until everything is well mixed.
- Spread the batter out evenly in the pans that have been prepared. Bake for 65 to 75 minutes, or until a cake tester put into the middle comes out clean.
- The loaves should cool in the pans for about 10 minutes before being moved to a wire rack to cool all the way through.
- As soon as they come out of the oven, the loaves have a lovely crisp top. If they’re still good after more than a day, you can toast each slice to make them taste like they were just baked.
💭 Recipe Tips:
- Ensure ingredients are at room temperature for optimal blending.
- Use Libby’s 100% pure pumpkin for authentic flavor.
