Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Pumpkin puree
- 1 cup Brown sugar
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, melted and cooled
- 0.5 cup Molasses
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 2 teaspoons Ground ginger
- 1.5 teaspoons Cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoon Cloves
- 1.5 teaspoons Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.75 cup Whole milk
- 1 cup Caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 as desired Optional: Whipped cream or vanilla ice cream
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or a similarly sized baking dish.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar, granulated sugar, ground ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, baking soda, and salt. Whisk until evenly blended.
In a separate medium-sized bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, melted butter, molasses, eggs, vanilla extract, and milk until smooth.
Gradually fold the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients. Mix gently with a spatula or wooden spoon until the batter is just combined. Do not overmix.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula for even baking.
Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.
Allow the pumpkin gingerbread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
While the gingerbread cools, warm the caramel sauce gently in a small saucepan over low heat, stirring occasionally. (Alternatively, heat it in the microwave in 15-20 second intervals.)
Once the gingerbread has mostly cooled, drizzle the warm caramel sauce generously over the top of the loaf. Slice and serve warm or at room temperature.
Optional: Pair each slice with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for extra indulgence.
