Equipment

  • Loaf pans
  • Mixing Bowls:
  • Whisk

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 3/4 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 2 cups sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 can 100% pure pumpkin (15 oz)

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C) and grease two 8x4-inch loaf pans.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, salt, baking soda, baking powder, cloves, cinnamon, and nutmeg until well combined.
  • In a large bowl, beat softened butter and sugar on medium speed until blended. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition, then mix in the pumpkin.
  • Gradually mix in the flour mixture on low speed until just combined.
  • Divide the batter evenly between the prepared loaf pans and smooth the tops.
  • Bake for 65 to 75 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Check for doneness starting at 60 minutes.
  • Let the loaves cool in the pans for about 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
