Description
The recipe combines pumpkin puree, eggs, sugars, vegetable oil, and milk with flour, baking soda, salt, and warm spices. This creates a batter that bakes into a dense yet tender loaf with autumnal flavors highlighted by cinnamon and nutmeg.
A maple glaze made with powdered sugar, butter, and maple syrup is poured over the warm bread, adding a rich sweetness and slight gloss. Baking occurs at 350°F (180°C) for nearly an hour, with doneness checked by a clean toothpick test.
This sweet pumpkin bread suits tea time or as a comforting snack, and leftovers store well at room temperature for up to three days.
Eggs can be substituted following standard egg replacement guides for cakes if needed.
