Fun Pumpkin Facts & An Old- Fashioned Pumpkin Bread Recipe

Method

1. 1

   Set oven rack in the middle position. Preheat oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit. Meanwhile, grease two 8 x 4-inch loaf pans with butter and lightly dust with flour.

2. 2

   In a medium mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, and allspice.

3. 3

   Stir and set aside. In a bigger mixing bowl, beat butter and sugar until blended. Then add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Continue beating until light and fluffy, about 2 to 3 minutes.

4. 4

   Beat in the pumpkin. Then add in the flour mixture slowly and mix at low speed until combined. Split the batter between the two loaf pans and bake for 65 minutes (or slightly longer) until a cake tester comes out clean.

5. 5

   Let the bread cool down slightly in the loaf pans, then place bread on a wire rack to continue cooling.
