Pumpkin Bread for Samhain
Ingredients
  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 cups white sugar
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1 (15 ounce) can canned pumpkin
  • 1/3 cup water
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to its highest temperature setting, which is 350 degrees Fahrenheit or 175 degrees Celsius.
2
Next, take a moment to prepare two loaf pans by applying a thin layer of non-stick cooking spray or butter to each one.
3
To create the cake mixture, combine flour, sugar, salt, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, and cloves in a large bowl.
4
Meanwhile, in another bowl, whisk together pumpkin puree, water, eggs, vanilla extract, and vegetable oil until well combined.
5
Gradually pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients while continuously whisking to ensure everything is fully incorporated.
6
Once well mixed, gently fold in the walnuts to add texture and flavor to your cake batter.
7
Divide the cake batter evenly between the two prepared loaf pans, making sure to fill them about 2/3 full.
8
Place the loaf pans in the preheated oven and bake until the top is golden brown and springs back when gently pressed with your finger, typically taking 50 to 60 minutes.
9
After the baking time has elapsed, allow the loaves to cool for 20 minutes before carefully removing them from the pans.
