Description
Are you in search of the perfect loaf for your cozy fall mornings? Look no further than this Brown Sugar Pumpkin Loaf, a delightful treat infused with warm spices and topped with a caramelized brown sugar crust.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp nutmeg
- 1/4 tsp cloves
- 1/4 tsp ginger
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 1/4 cup milk
- 2 tbsp brown sugar for topping
Instructions
- Begin by combining the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and ginger in a medium bowl. Whisk them together to ensure even distribution of the spices and leavening agents, setting the stage for a loaf that rises properly and carries an even spice flavor.
- In a separate large bowl, whisk the vegetable oil, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth, ensuring no lumps remain. Incorporate the eggs and vanilla extract, and mix until the mixture appears light and silky.
- Add the pumpkin puree and milk to your wet ingredients. Stir gently until well combined.
- Graditionally incorporate the dry ingredients into your wet mixture. Use a spatula to fold them together, ensuring not to overmix.
- Pour your beautiful batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula. Sprinkle the reserved brown sugar on top for that iconic crunchy crust. Bake for 55-65 minutes.
- Once baked, allow the loaf to cool for 10 minutes in its pan. Transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Ensure ingredients are at room temperature before starting, as they combine more easily, especially eggs and milk.
