Equipment

  • 1 9x5 loaf pan

Ingredients

  • 2 cups All Purpose Flour
  • 1 tsp Baking Soda
  • ½ tsp Kosher Salt
  • 1 tbsp Cinnamon
  • 1 tsp Ground Ginger
  • 1 tsp Ground Allspice
  • ½ tsp Nutmeg
  • ½ tsp Ground Cloves
  • 15 oz Pumpkin Puree
  • 1 cup Brown Sugar
  • ¾ cup Granulated Sugar
  • ½ cup Salted Butter (melted)
  • ¼ cup Vegetable Oil
  • 2 Large Eggs
  • ¼ cup Sour Cream
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract

Cream Cheese Frosting

  • 4 oz Cream Cheese (room temperature)
  • 2 tbsp Salted Butter (room temperature)
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
  • 1 ½ cups Powdered Sugar
  • 3-4 tbsp Heavy Cream

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 9x5 loaf pan with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl, combine flour, baking soda, salt, and spices. Whisk ingredients together.
  • In a separate large mixing bowl, combine pumpkin puree, brown sugar, sugar, melted butter, vegetable oil, eggs, sour cream, and vanilla extract. Whisk together for 2-3 minutes, until smooth.
  • Add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients and mix together until all of the ingredients are incorporated. Pour batter into the loaf pan and bake for 75-80 minutes. Allow the pumpkin bread to cool for 5 minutes in the loaf pan, then remove and place onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Make the cream cheese frosting by adding cream cheese and butter to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Cream together for 2 minutes, then add the powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and heavy cream. Mix until fully combined, about one minute.
  • Add the cream cheese frosting on top of the pumpkin bread.
