Ingredients
1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
1 ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
¼ teaspoon ground ginger
¼ teaspoon ground cloves
1 ½ cups sugar
½ cup vegetable oil
2 large eggs
1 cup pumpkin puree
¼ cup water
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan and set aside.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk the sugar, vegetable oil, eggs, pumpkin puree, water, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
- Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually mix the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
- Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top. Bake for 55-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool: Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
For a richer flavor, consider adding ½ cup of chocolate chips or nuts to the batter.
Ensure that you do not overmix the batter to keep the bread light and fluffy.
If using fresh pumpkin puree, make sure it is well-drained to avoid excess moisture.
