Ingredients
1 3/4 cups (220 grams) all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 cup (100 grams) granulated sugar
1/2 cup (110 grams) packed light brown sugar
1/2 cup (120 ml) vegetable oil
2 large eggs
1 cup (240 ml) canned pure pumpkin puree
1/4 cup (60 ml) buttermilk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease and flour a 9×5-inch loaf pan.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and ginger until well combined.
In a large bowl, whisk the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vegetable oil until smooth.
Add the eggs one at a time to the sugar and oil mixture, beating well after each addition.
Stir in the pumpkin puree, buttermilk, and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, folding gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake for 50 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 15 minutes.
Transfer the bread to a wire rack and cool completely before slicing.
