Equipment

  • 1 Loaf pan
  • 1 Mixing bowl
  • 1 Whisk
  • 1 Spatula
  • 1 measuring cup set
  • 1 measuring spoon set

Ingredients
  

  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter melted
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup canned pumpkin puree
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease the loaf pan.
  • In the mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves.
  • In another bowl, combine the sugar and melted butter, mixing until smooth.
  • Add the eggs to the sugar mixture, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
  • Stir in the pumpkin puree, water, and vanilla extract until well combined.
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until incorporated.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly with the spatula.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for about 1 hour, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Remove from oven and allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes.
  • Transfer the bread to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Notes

For a moist and flavorful pumpkin bread, ensure not to overmix the batter as it can lead to a dense texture. Feel free to add nuts or chocolate chips for extra flavor and texture. Store the bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days or refrigerate for a longer shelf life.
