This yummy family tradition started when buying the kids their pumpkins. Each of the kids got one to make their jack-o’-lantern. Mama got one to cook! Friends and family usually enjoy this treat. Tweak it to fit your family as I do mine. Enjoy with confectioners’ sugar on top or cream cheese frosting.
Ingredients
- 2 cups white sugar
- 1 ½ cups applesauce
- 2 cups pumpkin puree
- 4 eggs, beaten
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 2 teaspoons baking soda
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon ground ginger
- ½ teaspoon ground cloves
- ¼ teaspoon ground mace
- ½ cup chopped walnuts (Optional)
- ½ cup semisweet chocolate chips (Optional)
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup confectioners' sugar
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease two 9×5-inch loaf pans.
Step 2
Mix white sugar and applesauce together in a large bowl; stir pumpkin puree and eggs into sugar mixture until smooth. Mix baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, salt, ginger, cloves, and mace into pumpkin mixture; fold in walnuts and chocolate chips. Stir flour into pumpkin mixture until fully incorporated. Pour batter into the prepared loaf pans.
Step 3
Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center of each loaf comes out clean, 1 hour. Cool in the pans for 10 minutes before removing to cool completely on a wire rack. Sprinkle each loaf with confectioners' sugar.
Cook’s Note:
We prefer pecans and semisweet chocolate chips in our pumpkin bread. Most often I bake it in a 9×13-inch pan and once cooled, top it off with cream cheese frosting.
