Equipment
  • 2 loaf pans 9x5 inch
  • 1 large bowl
  • 1 Medium bowl
  • 1 wire rack
Ingredients
  
  • 1 cup canned pumpkin puree
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 cup light brown sugar
  • 1 cup vegetable oil
  • 4 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1 cup chocolate chips or chopped walnuts optional
Instructions
 
  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C).
    Grease and flour two 9x5-inch loaf pans or line them with parchment paper.
  • Whisk together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vegetable oil in a large bowl until well combined.
    Add the canned pumpkin puree, eggs, and vanilla extract, and mix until fully incorporated.
  • In a separate medium bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, kosher salt, ground cinnamon, ground ginger, ground nutmeg, and ground cloves.
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredient mixture.
    Mix gently until just combined, avoiding over-mixing.
    If using chocolate chips or chopped walnuts, fold them into the batter at this point.
  • Pour the batter evenly into the prepared loaf pans.
    Smooth the top with a spatula, making sure the batter is level.
  • Place the loaf pans in the preheated oven and bake for 60-70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaves comes out clean.
    If the top of the bread is browning too quickly, cover it loosely with aluminum foil.
  • Allow the pumpkin bread to cool in the loaf pans for 20 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
    Once cooled, slice and serve your delicious Ina Garten pumpkin bread.
