GINGER PUMPKIN BREAD



Ginger Pumpkin Bread image

Make this moist quick bread all autumn long. The ginger and pumpkin flavors blend together nicely in this sweet dessert bread.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Breakfast & Brunch Recipes     Bread Recipes

Time 2h40m

Number Of Ingredients 10

12 tablespoons (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted, plus room-temperature butter for pan
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (spooned and leveled), plus more for pan
2 teaspoons baking powder
2 teaspoons ground ginger
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup packed light-brown sugar
1 can (15 ounces) pumpkin puree (1 3/4 cups)
3 large eggs
Sugar Glaze for Ginger Pumpkin Bread

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Butter and flour two 8 1/2-by-4 1/2-inch (6-cup) loaf pans (see note, below); set aside. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, ginger, and salt. In a medium bowl, whisk together sugars, pumpkin, melted butter, and eggs; add flour mixture, and stir until just combined.
  • Divide batter between prepared pans. Bake until a toothpick inserted in center of loaves comes out clean, about 50 minutes. Let cool 10 minutes; invert pans and transfer loaves to a wire rack to cool completely. Glaze, if desired.

Tips:

  • Using fresh or canned pumpkin puree is recommended for the best flavor and texture. If using canned pumpkin, make sure to drain off any excess liquid before measuring.
  • Be sure to measure your ingredients accurately, as this will affect the final result of the gingerbread loaf.
  • Creaming the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy is essential for a tender and moist loaf. Creaming helps to incorporate air into the mixture, which makes the loaf rise and gives it a light texture.
  • Do not overmix the batter once the dry ingredients have been added. Overmixing can result in a tough and dense loaf.
  • Bake the gingerbread loaf in a preheated oven. This will help to ensure that the loaf bakes evenly.
  • Cool the gingerbread loaf completely before frosting or serving. This will help to prevent the loaf from crumbling.
  • When frosting the gingerbread loaf, use a cream cheese frosting for a classic and delicious combination. You can also use a simple glaze made from powdered sugar and milk.

Conclusion:

Pumpkin gingerbread loaf is a delicious and festive treat that is perfect for the holiday season. With its warm and spicy flavor, this loaf is sure to be a hit with your family and friends. So next time you're looking for a sweet and satisfying treat, be sure to give pumpkin gingerbread loaf a try.
