PUMPKIN BREAD
Ingredients:
- 1 Cup Pure Pumpkin (not pie mix)
- 2 Eggs, beaten
- 1/2 Cup Sugar
- 1/2 Cup Canola Oil
- 1/3 Cup Orange Juice
- 1 & 3/4 Cups Flour
- 1/2 Teaspoon Salt
- 1 Teaspoon Baking Soda
- 1/2 Teaspoon Baking Powder
- 1/2 Teaspoon Nutmeg
- 1/2 Teaspoon Ginger
- 1/4 Teaspoon Cloves
- 1/2 Tablespoon Cinnamon
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray one 9 x 5 loaf pan with nonstick baking spray. A metal pan works better than a glass pan to ensure even baking.
2. Stir the Flour, Salt, Baking Powder, Baking Soda, Nutmeg, Ginger, Cinnamon and Cloves together with a fork in a medium size bowl.
3. In a large bowl mix together the Pumpkin, Sugar, Oil, Orange Juice and Eggs with a handheld mixer on low speed until blended.
4. Slowly add the Flour mixture into the batter, about 1/2 Cup at a time, and mix on low speed, continuing to scrape the sides until well combined.
5. Pour the batter into the prepared pan.
6. Bake for 45-65 minutes. All ovens cook differently so after 30 minutes start checking the Bread. You are looking for a dark golden brown color and when a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, the Bread should be done.
7. When the Pumpkin Bread is done, remove it from the oven and allow it to cool completely before removing it from the pan.
Slice the Pumpkin Bread and serve with sweet cream butter and honey on the side.
