1

Gather your ingredients

To begin, gather the following items: 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg, ¼ teaspoon ground cloves, ¼ teaspoon salt, 1 cup canned pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling), ½ cup vegetable oil, ½ cup white granulated sugar, ½ cup packed brown sugar, 2 large eggs, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.

2

Preheat the oven and prepare the pan

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.

3

Mix the dry ingredients

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

4

Combine the wet ingredients

In a large mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, vegetable oil, white granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract. Use an electric mixer or whisk vigorously until the mixture is well combined and smooth.

5

Combine the dry and wet ingredients

Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredient mixture. Use a spatula or wooden spoon to gently fold the ingredients together until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this may result in a dense loaf.

6

Bake the Pumpkin Spice Bread

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula. Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

7

Cool and enjoy

Once baked, remove the Pumpkin Spice Bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, transfer the loaf to a wire rack to cool completely. Slice and enjoy a slice of this delectable treat!
