• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup brown sugar, packed
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 0.25 teaspoon ground cloves
• 0.5 teaspoon salt

📝 Instructions

9 steps

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.

2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and salt. Mix until evenly combined.

3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth and well incorporated.

4. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.

5. Fold in the raisins and optional chopped nuts, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.

6. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.

7. Bake in the preheated oven for 55-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean.

8. Remove the loaf from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes.

9. Carefully transfer the loaf to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
