Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 cup cane sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup pumpkin purée
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoons salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 3/4 cup chopped walnuts

Instructions

  • Pre-heat the oven to 350°, and grease a loaf pan well.
  • Mix together the softened butter and sugar; then mix in the eggs, vanilla extract, and pumpkin.
  • Sift together the dry ingredients, including the flour, salt, baking soda, baking powder, pumpkin pie spice, and ground cloves.
  • Mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients.
  • Then add the chopped walnuts and mix again.
  • Pour the dough into a well greased loaf pan, and bake at 350° for about an hour, or until a toothpick (or cake tester) inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • Remove your loaf of deliciously moist pumpkin bread from the oven, and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. 
  • Then run a butter knife around the edge of your loaf, and slip the loaf out of the pan onto a wire rack to cool.
  • Serve with butter, jelly, or whatever your heart desires!

Notes

*You can make this recipe into a pumpkin bread loaf, or you can use a muffin tin and make pumpkin muffins instead. You can add a cup or so of chocolate chips, as well, if you'd like to make chocolate chip pumpkin bread.
