Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Classic Downeast Maine Pumpkin Bread.
Step 1
Begin by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C).
Step 2
Prepare two 9x5-inch loaf pans by greasing them generously and dusting with flour to ensure a perfect release.
Step 3
In a spacious mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and ginger, whisking them together until they harmonize beautifully.
Step 4
In a separate bowl, blend pumpkin puree, eggs, vegetable oil, water, and white sugar until the mixture is velvety smooth.
Step 5
Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the pumpkin mixture, stirring gently to maintain a light texture—avoid overmixing for the best results.
Step 6
Pour the luscious batter evenly into your prepared loaf pans, filling them with the promise of deliciousness.
Step 7
Slide the pans into the preheated oven and let them bake for approximately 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center emerges clean, signaling that your pumpkin bread is ready.
Step 8
Once baked, allow the loaves to cool in the pans for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 9
Savor the delightful aroma and enjoy every slice of your homemade pumpkin bread!.
