Instructions
Pumpkin Bread
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x5 inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, pumpkin pie spice and ground ginger. Set aside.
- In another bowl, mix the pumpkin puree, vegetable oil, granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Bake for 55-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Cream Cheese Frosting
- In a large bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, butter, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Gradually add powdered sugar and beat until fully incorporated.
- Once the bread is completely cool, spread the cream cheese frosting evenly over the top. Slice and serve.
