Fall is here so it is time for pumpkin. I love pumpkin, either in savory dishes or sweet bread or muffins any time of the year. I got this recipe many years ago from Atlas Restaurant in New York (I am not sure if this restaurant is still around). We were dining there during fall season and after our meal each of us received a little gift bag. In it was a slice of this pumpkin bread with the recipe attached compliments from the chef. How nice is that. So here I am sharing this great recipe with you. The top of the bread is crunchy and the middle is moist and tender. With the holiday season just around the corner it will be great to give it away as gifts.Ingredients:
2 cups of pumpkin puree
1/2 cup of vegetable oil
2 whole eggs
1 egg yolk
1 cup sugar (I used ½ cup brown sugar, ½ sugar)
1 ½ cups flour
1 tsp of baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1 tsp vanilla
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp nutmeg
Topping:
Some brown sugar
Some pumpkin seeds
1. Pre-heat the oven to 350 degree F and greased a loaf pan.2. Mix pumpkin, oil, whole eggs, egg yolk, sugar and vanilla together. Mix well.
3. In a separate bowl, mix flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt. Mix thoroughly. Add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients. Mix until well combined.
4. Pour into the loaf pan and sprinkle the top with some brown sugar and pumpkin seeds. Bake for 45 – 50 minutes or until golden brown.
Thank you so much for sharing this recipe. Would like to try this soon.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous photos and gorgeous bread, it is a very american thing and i have not actually ever tasted it. But yours looks the most apetising I have seen amongst the other blog posts i have seen about it. Yours look less heavy and more moist :))
ReplyDeleteI love the touch of the seeds of top. To be honest, I have not tasted pumpkin cakes before.. also, I have never made anything with pumpkins. There are plenty of them now, guess I should buy a small one and try! :)
