Irresistible Pumpkin Bread with Sugary Pecan Topping

Ingredients:

  • 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tsp baking soda
  • 1 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 tsp ground cloves
  • 1/4 tsp ground ginger
  • 3 cups sugar
  • 1 cup vegetable oil
  • 4 large eggs
  • 2/3 cup water
  • 2 cups pumpkin puree
  • 1/2 cup chopped nuts (optional)

Directions:

  1. Preheat your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C) and generously grease and flour two 9×5-inch loaf pans.
  2. In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and ginger. Set aside this aromatic blend.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, embark on a sweet symphony by combining the sugar and vegetable oil. Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring a harmonious mix after each addition.
  4. Gradually introduce the dry ingredients to the wet ones, alternating with the water. Mix until a delightful union is achieved.
  5. Stir in the velvety pumpkin puree and, if you fancy, the chopped nuts for an extra crunch.
  6. Pour this autumnal masterpiece evenly into the awaiting loaf pans.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 60-70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the bread’s heart comes out impeccably clean.
  8. Once your kitchen is perfumed with the enchanting aroma, delicately remove the Pumpkin Bread from the oven and let it cool in the pans for approximately 10 minutes.
  9. Transfer your creation to a wire rack to cool completely, allowing the anticipation to build.
