Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground ginger
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground cloves
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, softened
• 1.5 cups Granulated sugar
• 2 units Large eggs
• 1 teaspoon Pure vanilla extract
• 1 cup Pumpkin puree
• 0.25 cup Milk

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan lightly with butter or cooking spray, then set it aside.

Step 2

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

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy.

Step 4

Add the eggs to the butter and sugar mixture, one at a time, beating well after each addition.

Step 5

Mix in the vanilla extract.

Step 6

Add the pumpkin puree to the wet mixture and beat until fully incorporated.

Step 7

On low speed, alternate adding the dry ingredient mixture and the milk to the wet mixture, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix just until everything is combined—be careful not to overmix.

Step 8

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

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.

Step 10

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

Step 11

Enjoy your nut-free pumpkin spice bread with a smear of butter or a dollop of whipped cream, if desired.
