Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 3/4 cups (220g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup (100g) light brown sugar, packed
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1 cup (240ml) pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) vegetable oil
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1/4 cup (60ml) milk, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup (65g) all-purpose flour (for streusel topping)
  • 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar (for streusel topping)
  • 1/4 cup (50g) light brown sugar, packed (for streusel topping)
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon (for streusel topping)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt (for streusel topping)
  • 1/4 cup (57g) unsalted butter, melted (for streusel topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves.
  3. In another bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, vegetable oil, eggs, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring gently with a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  5. In a small bowl, mix the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt for the streusel topping. Pour in the melted butter and stir until crumbly.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top. Sprinkle the streusel evenly over the batter.
  7. Bake for 55-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the loaf cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

[‘Don’t overmix the batter to avoid a dense loaf.’, ‘Use room-temperature eggs for a smoother texture.’, ‘Test for doneness with a toothpick inserted into the center.’, ‘The streusel topping is essential for added crunch and flavor.’]
