Pumpkin Loaf

(Jun 2, 2014) What does one make with pumpkin puree?  Well - there aren't that many options but pumpkin loaf is a nice twist to the usual pumpkin pie or pumpkin cupcakes.  This recipe is fail- and fool-proof and the end results warm your tummy and remind you of when the weather was much cooler.

You will need the following:

• 1 cup sugar

• 1 cup oil (I use Noor Oil)

• 2 eggs (few drops of vinegar)

• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla

• 1 cup all-purpose flour

• 1 teaspoon baking soda

• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder

• 1/4 teaspoon salt

• 1 teaspoon all-spice (make sure this is for desserts and not savoury food)

• 1 cup pumpkin puree (alternatively, you could use fresh pumpkin that is steamed and pureed)

• 1/2 cup chopped pecans

Dirctions:

1. Preheat your oven to 170.

2. In a big bowl, mix sugar and oil.

3. Add eggs and vanilla.

4. Sift flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and all-spice.

5. Spoon in flour mixture until well-incorporated.

6. Add pumpkin puree.

7. Add pecans and mix gently.

8. Bake for 45 minutes (or until done) and enjoy.
