Ingredients
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon ground cardamom
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 cup pumpkin purée (not pie filling)
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup dark brown sugar, packed
1/2 cup vegetable oil
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×5 inch loaf pan, or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
Step 2: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, ginger, cardamom, cloves, and black pepper until well combined.
Step 3: In a separate medium bowl, whisk the pumpkin purée, granulated sugar, brown sugar, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and emulsified.
Step 4: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Use a rubber spatula to gently fold the mixture until no streaks of flour remain, being careful not to overmix.
Step 5: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with your spatula.
Step 6: Bake for 55 to 65 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
Step 7: Remove from the oven and allow the bread to cool in the pan for 15 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Notes
For an extra chai kick, you can add 1 tablespoon of finely ground black tea leaves to the dry ingredients.
