This sweet Pumpkin Molasses Tea Bread with cream cheese frosting is equally good at breakfast, lunch, or dinner. We used apple juice to sweeten the bread, but this recipe is just as tasty made with orange juice or cranberry juice.

MOLASSES TEA BREAD



Molasses Tea Bread image

I saw this on NBC a few days ago and knew I had to place it here for safe keeping. It looked great. This bread stores well and picks up flavor when wrapped with a rum-soaked cloth. To store, dip a 12- to 14-inch square of muslin or cheesecloth into a cup holding 2 or 3 tablespoons dark rum, wetting the fabric all over. Squeeze out the excess rum, wrap the molasses bread with the dampened cloth and store the bread in a tin canister, or wrap with foil and store in a dark place.

Time 1h15m

Yield 1 loaf

Number Of Ingredients 15

3/4 cup vegetable oil (such as grapeseed, peanut, corn, coconut, or a mixture of the oils)
3 large eggs, at room temperature
3/4 cup dark molasses or 3/4 cup robust molasses
1/2 cup granulated sugar
3 -4 tablespoons finely chopped fresh ginger or 2 -3 teaspoons ground ginger
1 -2 teaspoon ground allspice
1 -2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 1/4 cups unbleached flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
3/4 cup buttermilk, at room temperature
1 cup chopped pecans or 1 cup walnuts
1 tablespoon flour
1 1/2 tablespoons crystallized sugar (such as Sugar In The Raw, (or more if desired)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Butter a 9 x 5 x 3-inch loaf pan, dust lightly with flour, shake out excess and set aside.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the oil, eggs, molasses, sugar, ginger, allspice and cinnamon and beat vigorously with a whisk until well-blended.
  • Sift together the flour, salt, baking soda and baking powder. Add the flour and buttermilk alternately to the molasses mixture, stirring with a wooden spoon after each addition. Sprinkle the walnuts or pecans all over with the flour and then stir into the batter, mixing well.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared pan, and shake gently to settle the batter. Set the pan in the center of the hot oven on the lower rack. Bake the bread for 10 minutes and then scatter the top of the loaf evenly with the crystallized sugar.
  • Bake the molasses bread for 45 to 50 minutes or until it is brown and puffy and a knife or toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean but a little moist. Don't overbake the bread and dry it out; it should be moist.
  • Remove the pan from the oven and cool on a wire rack for 15 minutes. Run a metal spatula around the edge of the bread and turn out the bread onto a rack or board lined with a tea cloth or sheet of wax paper. Then, turn the bread upright and serve warm, if desired.

1 large egg, beaten
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 ½ teaspoons pumpkin pie spice

Tips:

  • Use fresh pumpkin puree for the best flavor and texture. If you don't have fresh pumpkin, you can use canned pumpkin puree, but be sure to drain it well before using.
  • Be sure to measure your ingredients accurately. Too much or too little of any ingredient can affect the outcome of the bread.
  • Mix the dry ingredients together in a separate bowl before adding them to the wet ingredients. This will help to ensure that the ingredients are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the bread tough.
  • Bake the bread in a preheated oven. This will help to ensure that the bread bakes evenly.
  • Let the bread cool completely before slicing and serving. This will help to prevent the bread from crumbling.

Conclusion:

Pumpkin molasses tea bread is a delicious and easy-to-make bread that is perfect for fall. The pumpkin and molasses give the bread a moist and flavorful texture, while the spices add a warm and inviting aroma. This bread is perfect for breakfast, lunch, or a snack. It can also be served as a dessert with a dollop of whipped cream or ice cream.
