Ingredients

Servings

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour Spooned and leveled
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp baking soda
  • 2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 tsp ground ginger
  • 1/2 tsp nutmeg
  • 1/4 tsp cloves ground

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup pumpkin not pumpkin pie filling, puree
  • 2 egg
  • 1/3 cup sour cream
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar packed
  • 1/2 cup butter melted, unsalted, 1 stick
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit. 
  2. Liberally grease a loaf pan with butter, set aside.
  3. Add all dry ingredients to a sifter or fine mesh sieve.  Sift into a bowl.
  4. In a second bowl, whisk together all wet ingredients until well mixed.
  5. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients.  Using a mixing spoon or rubber spatula, quickly mix the dry and wet ingredients together until just mixed.  Leave a few lumps, and do not over mix.
  6. Pour the pumpkin bread batter into the prepared loaf pan and place in the oven.  Bake for 60-75 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the loaf comes out clean.
  7. Cool in the pan for up to ten minutes, then turn loaf out onto a wire rack and allow to cool completely before cutting. 
  8. Once cool, pumpkin bread can be stored, covered, for up to three days.

Notes

  • It is important to mix the dry and wet ingredients separately, and then combine them and stir just until mixed. Leave a few lumps.  Over mixing the batter will result in a tough bread.
  • For best results, sift the dry ingredients to help them combine and make them easier to mix into the wet ingredients.  I just use a fine mesh sieve for this.
  • Use a toothpick to check for doneness.  Near the end of baking time, insert a toothpick into the center of the bread. When it comes out clean, the bread is done.
