Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp baking powder
  • 1 ½ tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 tsp nutmeg
  • ½ tsp ginger
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 ½ cups canned pumpkin
  • 1 ½ cups sugar
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • ½ cup vegetable or canola oil
  • ½ cup melted butter
  • 2 eggs

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt. Set aside.
  • In a liquid measuring cup, combine the oil, melted butter, and vanilla.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat together the pumpkin, sugar, and eggs until smooth.
  • With the mixer on low, slowly stream in the oil/butter mixture. Mix for 1–2 minutes, until the batter looks light and smooth.
  • Using a spatula, gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet until just combined. Don’t overmix.
  • Prepare a 9x5 loaf pan: butter it well, then line the bottom and sides with parchment paper for easy removal.
  • Pour in the batter and smooth the top.
  • Bake for 1 hour, or until the center is fully set and the top is golden brown. A toothpick inserted in the middle should come out clean. (If underbaked, the loaf may sink as it cools, so be sure it’s fully done before removing.)
  • Let cool in the pan for 15 minutes before lifting it out with the parchment paper. Slice and enjoy warm—or let cool completely and wrap for later.
