Food: Spiced Pumpkin Bread with Ginger Glaze.

By Sensiblelessons @sensiblelessons

Since all the blogs that I follow are doing it, I decided to hope on the wagon.

The wagon of making stuff from pumpkin.

I’m not sure what took me so long. This is so much better than the one that I spend a pretty penny at Starbucks..Seriously. It is moist (*dislike that word), full flavored, the perfect amount of sweet and salty.

I’m in love. Check out that drip. Aahhh.

I am still not sure at what time I should be consuming this. Morning, Afternoon, Evening….or all of the above.

Make this. You literally toss everything into a mixing bowl, mix and pour into bundt pan…and the oven does the rest. Holy smokes this is good.

Spiced Pumpkin Bread with Ginger Glaze

Adapted from A Muse in My Kitchen

Ingredients:

  • 3 1/2 cups flour
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  •  1 1/2 cups brown sugar
  • 1 cup vegetable oil
  • 4 eggs
  • 2 cups pumpkin
  • 2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 2 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger, divided
  • 3/4 cup water
  • 3 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 3 tablespoons milk
  • 2 cups powdered sugar

Method:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

1. Mix all of the ingredient together for the bread, flour through water (use 1 teaspoon of ginger in the bread batter). Pour into 2 loaf pans sprayed with baking spray (or one bundt pan). Bake one hour. Let cool. Invert cake and let cool more on rack.

2. Mix together 1 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger, butter and milk. Add 1 cup of powdered sugar, stir with a whisk to combine. Add remaining 1 cup of powdered sugar. Should be somewhat thick. Let sit for a few minutes to thicken more. Drizzle over cake. Let the glaze naturally run down the cake – add however much or little you like.
