This is a collaboration of many different recipes that I have found online (mostly from a "Kitchen la Boheme" blog and Martha Stuart) and I think it is just right!
- 1 1/2 sticks unsalted butter (melted)- 1 cup sugar
- 1 cup packed light brown sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 1 15oz can of organic pumpkin
- 2 1/2 cups flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1/4 teaspoon allspice
Glaze Ingredients:
- 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons of powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1/3 cup maple syrup
First: Pre-heat over to 375 degrees. Butter and flour 2 8 1/2 by 4 1/2 loaf pans. In a medium bowl mix together flour, salt, baking powder and all the spices and set aside.
Second: In a large bowl whisk together sugars, pumpkin, melted butter and eggs. Mix in the flour mixture and stir until well combined.
Third: Divide batter between the two loaf pans and bake for approximately 50 minutes.* Let cool for 10 minutes and then transfer to wire rack to completely cool.
Fourth: Mix together all ingredients for the glaze. Using a fork, drizzle the glaze over pumpkin loaf in lines (back and forth) until loaf is covered.
*Watch the loaf closely toward the end of the 50 minutes. Each oven is different and it may need a little more or less time. Its much better to leave it a little undercooked and let it finish cooking in the hot pan while it is cooling, than to over cook it.
