what happens when you are tired but you are still itching to bake? this happens to me everyday… regardless of how much yoga i do or flip meself inside out, or upside down, my neck and back are strained… do you have the same problem too or is it just me? (?・・)σ
this is a lazy and easy bake… but trust me, you will not stop at one slice… my loaf’s nearly done and i only baked it 2 hours ago….
Recipe adapted from CopyKat Recipes
Ingredients
1 1/2 cups flour
1 cup sugar
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon cardamom
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon allspice
1/4 teaspoon clove
** if you are going to use pumpkin pie spice, use a scant 2 teaspoons of spice in place of the spices mentioned here
2 eggs, beaten
1 cup pumpkin puree
1/2 cup vegetable oil (do not use olive or peanut oil)
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1/3 to 1/2 cup roasted and salted pumpkin seeds
Directions
– Preheat oven to 350 degrees
– In a large bowl add all of the dry ingredients; flour, sugar, salt, baking soda, salt, and spices
– Sift the dry ingredients together
– In a smaller bowl mix together the 2 beaten eggs, the oil, and the vanilla. Once the liquid ingredients are mixed well pour over the dry ingredients. Stir until the lumps are out. Do not over-stir the mixture
– Pour into a 9x5x3 inch loaf pan that has been sprayed with non-stick spray
– Sprinkle pumpkin seeds on top of bread
– Bake for 50 – 60 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean when poked in the center of the loaf. Cool for approximately 5 minutes in the pan, and then turn the pumpkin bread onto a cooling rack
Personal notes:
– i added half cup of raisins and pecans to the loaf for extra texture
– i used half cup of light brown sugar (actually 三温糖from Japan), firmly packed
– i baked my loaf in a 9x3x3 loaf pan (as i prefer tall cakes) for 60 mins
Have a happy weekend peeps! ♪((└|o^▽^o|┐))

Looks so good! I baked with pumpkin quite few times in cake/quick bread and end up like kueh texture. Do you have the same experience too?
Hi Vivian… This one, I should say is very moist… But not to the kueh extend 🙂
用好多spices, 看起来好好吃啦!
下午茶时间。
我要一片。
I have yet using pumpkin in my baking for cakes. This sure looks and sounds delicious ~ just like carrot cake.
Very tempting coffee cake!
Hi Victoria, I knew just what you meant! LOL! Today after doing some gardening and cooking, I was tired, but I was thinking of a plain butter cake for days!!! So before I could change my tired mind, I took out all the ingredients, and went ahead to bake! Now the cake is cooling off, and looking forward to my midnight snack in a while! So like Nigella! Haha! Only not with a silk nightgown, rather old T-shirt and shorts! Hahaha!
The pumpkin cake looks moist and this would make a wonderful midnight snack too!
我家还有很多的南瓜,可以考虑做这个了,谢谢分享 :)
这么迟来, 连碟子都洗完了, 哈哈哈!
Hi Victoria,
I\’m exactly like what you said… always tired but you are always itching to bake! hee hee!
You must be feeling recharged after enjoying your moist and delicious Starbucks pumpkin bread 😀 More baking after eating this bread? :p
