How to Make Mini Pumpkin Pound Cakes

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Grease the bottoms only of your mini loaf pans with butter or non-stick cooking spray.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened unsalted butter, 1 ½ cups granulated sugar, and ½ cup vegetable oil until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in 4 large eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking soda, 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon, 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg, ½ teaspoon ground cloves, and ½ teaspoon salt.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with 1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin puree, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  7. Gently fold in ½ cup mini chocolate chips and/or ½ cup chopped nuts (optional).
  8. Fill the prepared mini loaf pans ¾ full.
  9. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a wooden toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. Dust with powdered sugar before serving (optional).
