Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 can (15 oz) pumpkin puree
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1/2 cup whole milk
  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp fine salt
  • 2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 tsp ground ginger
  • 1/2 tsp ground cloves
  • 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 3 tbsp pepitas

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a 9x5-inch loaf pan with parchment. Whisk together the pumpkin puree, eggs, vegetable oil, whole milk, and granulated sugar in a large bowl for about 1 minute until smooth.
  2. Add the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, and nutmeg to the bowl. Fold with a spatula until no dry streaks remain, about 20 to 25 folds. Do not overmix.
  3. Pour the batter into the prepared pan, spread level, and scatter the pepitas over the top, pressing them in lightly.
  4. Bake on the center rack at 350°F (175°C) for 60 to 70 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs and no wet batter.
  5. Cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then lift out using the parchment, slice, and serve with the pepita-studded top facing up.

Notes

This loaf slices cleanest when it's had at least 30 minutes to cool, so try not to cut into it straight from the oven. If you're making it ahead, it's honestly better on day 2 once the spices have had time to settle into the crumb. Store it wrapped tightly so the top doesn't dry out.
