Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoons ground nutmeg
• 0.25 teaspoons ground ginger
• 0.25 teaspoons ground cloves
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.5 cups unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cups granulated sugar
• 0.5 cups brown sugar, packed
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
• 1 cups pumpkin puree
• 0.75 cups eggnog
• 0.5 cups chopped nuts or chocolate chips (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.

Step 2

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cloves, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 4

Beat in the eggs, one at a time, ensuring each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next. Stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 5

Add the pumpkin puree and eggnog to the wet ingredients, mixing until combined. The batter may look slightly curdled at this stage, which is normal.

Step 6

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Avoid overmixing as this can lead to a dense bread.

Step 7

If using nuts or chocolate chips, gently fold them into the batter.

Step 8

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 55-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. If the top browns too quickly, tent the loaf with aluminum foil during the last 10-15 minutes of baking.

Step 10

Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
