Moist Pumpkin Bread

Ingredients

All-purpose flour

2 cups

Granulated sugar

1 cup

Brown sugar

1/2 cup, packed

Pumpkin puree

1 cup

Vegetable oil

1/2 cup

Eggs

2 large

Water

1/4 cup

Baking soda

1 teaspoon

Salt

1/2 teaspoon

Ground cinnamon

1 teaspoon

Ground nutmeg

1/2 teaspoon

Ground cloves

1/4 teaspoon

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x5 inch loaf pan to prevent sticking.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, granulated sugar, brown sugar, vegetable oil, eggs, and water. Mix vigorously with a whisk or electric mixer until the mixture is well blended and smooth.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves until fully combined.
4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the pumpkin mixture, stirring gently with a spatula or wooden spoon until just incorporated. Be careful not to over-mix, as this can affect the texture of your bread.
5. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
6. Bake for 60-70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Keep an eye on the bread towards the end of the baking time to ensure it doesn’t over-bake.
7. Once baked, let the bread cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Carefully remove it from the pan and transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
