Makes one loaf

Ingredients

  • 4 Tbsp of butter (room temperature) plus extra for greasing the pan
  • 1 ¾ cup flour
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • ½ tsp nutmeg
  • 1 ½ cups sugar
  • ½ cup sunflower oil
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree
  • 2 eggs

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees

Grease a loaf pan with butter. In a large bowl, combine flour, salt, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, and nutmeg. In a separate bowl beat together sugar, butter and sunflower oil in a mixer (you can also use a hand mixer) until light and fluffy. Add pumpkin puree to sugar mixture. Then add eggs one at a time until fully incorporated. Finally add the dry ingredients to the mixer. Once completely combined pour into greased pan. Bake in the oven for approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes. Use a skewer to test the middle of the loaf. If it comes out clean, the bread is done. If the skewer comes out with batter on it, then continue to bake.
