Time 1h15m

Yield 1 loaf

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 1/2 cups flour
2 1/4 teaspoons cinnamon
1 1/2 teaspoons ginger
3/4 teaspoon nutmeg
3/8 teaspoon clove
1 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
6 tablespoons softened butter
2/3 cup molasses
2 eggs
1 1/2 cups pumpkin
1/4 cup milk or 1/4 cup water
3/4 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
1/3 cup raisins or 1/3 cup chopped dates

Steps:

  • Whisk together the first 8 ingredients. Beat the butter for a minute or so, then gradually beat in the molasses, and beat till lightened. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, then add the pumpkin.
  • Combine the milk and vanilla.
  • Alternate adding the flour mixture and the milk mixture to the pumpkin mixture. (If you're using white or wheat flour, don't overbeat). Fold in the nuts and raisins.
  • Bake in a greased 9"x5" pan at 350F for about an hour, until a pick comes out clean. Let cool a few minutes before unmolding.
