Ingredients
- 2 egg large
- 1 cup pumpkin NOT pumpkin pie filling, puree
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/2 tsp ground ginger
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp cloves ground
- 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp baking soda
maple glaze
- 1 1/2 cups confectioners sugar sifted
- 4 tbsp maple syrup more or less
- 1/4 tsp maple extract optional
Instructions
- Set oven to 350°F.
- Spray a non-stick standard loaf pan with cooking spray. I like to line the pan with a sheet of parchment paper with long ends...this way I can lift the loaf out for glazing and neat slicing.
- Whisk the eggs in a large mixing bowl. Whisk in the pumpkin, oil, sugar, and spices.
- Stir in the flour, baking soda and salt and mix until combined.
- Turn the batter into the pan and use a spatula to smooth and even out.
- Bake until a toothpick comes out without wet batter clinging to it, about 50 minutes.
- Let the loaf cool almost to room temperature before glazing.
- To make the glaze, whisk together the sugar with enough maple syrup to make a thick, spreadable glaze. Keep whisking until all the little lumps are dissolved. Whisk in the extract, if using. Spread thickly onto the cooled bread.
