Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour

  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • ½ tsp ground nutmeg
  • ¼ tsp ground ginger
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree
  • 2 large eggs
  • ½ cup vegetable oil
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 8 oz cream cheese softened
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp milk
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract for frosting

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger.
  • In another bowl, combine the granulated sugar, brown sugar, pumpkin puree, eggs, oil, and vanilla extract. Beat until smooth.
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  • Pour the batter into a greased and floured loaf pan. Smooth the top with a spatula.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 60-70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Once baked, cool the bread in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • While the bread cools, prepare the cream cheese frosting by beating the softened cream cheese with powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla until smooth.
  • Once the bread is completely cool, spread the cream cheese frosting evenly over the top.
  • Slice and serve, enjoying the delicious contrast of spiced pumpkin loaf and rich cream cheese frosting.
