How to Make Deliciously Spicy Pumpkin Bread
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8x4-inch loaf pan.
- In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened butter and 1 ½ cups granulated sugar for 1 minute until light and fluffy.
- Beat in 2 large eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin puree, 1 tablespoon orange zest, and 2 tablespoons orange juice.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon baking powder, ½ teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, ½ teaspoon ground ginger, ½ teaspoon ground cloves, ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg, and ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional, for extra spice).
- Gradually add one-third of the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Stir in half of the pumpkin mixture.
- Add another one-third of the dry ingredients, followed by the remaining pumpkin mixture.
- Gently fold in ½ cup chopped walnuts or pecans and ½ cup raisins (optional).
- Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan.
- Tap the pan gently on the counter to remove air bubbles.
- Bake for 55-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
- While the bread is still warm, brush the top with melted butter.
- In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons granulated sugar and ½ teaspoon cinnamon. Sprinkle over the warm bread.
