This recipe combines two of my favorite flavors and is perfect for a crisp autumn day.

Pumpkin Gingerbread

2 1/2 cups brown sugar
2/3 cup vegetable oil
4 eggs
1/3 cup milk
1/3 cup molasses
16 ounces canned pumpkin
2 teaspoons ginger
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon cloves
1 teaspoon nutmeg
3 1/2 cups flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon vanilla

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease two large loaf pans or 6 mini loaf pans. In a large mixing bowl, combine sugar, oil and eggs. Beat until smooth. Add milk, molasses and vanilla and beat until well-blended. Beat in pumpkin and spices.

In a medium bowl, combine flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Add dry ingredients to pumpkin mixture and blend just until all ingredients are incorporated. Divide batter between prepared pans. Bake about 1 hour or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. (Smaller loaves will take less time to bake.)

It is especially good topped with whipped cream!

  8. Hi Kelli
    Thank you for stopping by my blog and leaving your kind comment! I am glad to know a fellow 'transplanted' Ontario-ian! When I say I'm from Ontario around here, everyone assumes Ontario, Ohio! I just pulled a 'The Great Pumpkin' loaf from the oven - from Jean Pare's Company's Coming! Smells too good to wait to cool! I'll try your gingerbread over the weekend!
