HOW TO MAKE HOMEMADE PUMPKIN BREAD
Step 1: Preheat the oven to 180ºC (350ºF). Grease a loaf tin with butter and dust the inside of the pan with some flour (hold and rotate the pan so that the flour coats all surfaces).
Step 2: In a medium glass bowl, whisk the flour, a pinch of salt, cinnamon powder and baking powder until combined. Set aside.
Step 3: In a large bowl, whisk the granulated sugar, light brown sugar and the eggs until a homogeneous mixture.
Step 4: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and whisk until obtain a quite creamy batter.
Step 5: Pour the batter into the prepared tin and bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 45 to 50 minutes (the time depends on the oven). (If the bread starts to get too brown, cover with aluminum foil.)
Step 6: Remove bread from the oven and allow to cool for 30 minutes inside the pan.
Step 7: Remove from the pan and place the bread onto a serving platter. Allow to cool completely and serve.
RECIPE TIPS
Use these techniques to know when a cake is done:
Toothpick test: Insert a toothpick into the center of the cake. If it comes out clean with no batter sticking to it, the cake is done. If there are still some wet crumbs or batter stuck to the toothpick, leave the cake in the oven for a few more minutes.
Finger test: Gently press the center of the cake with your finger. If it springs back and doesn't leave an indentation, the cake is done. If you notice that your finger leaves indents when you press down, put the cake back in the oven for a few more minutes and check again.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
