Instructions
Blending
Blend the wet ingredients with sugar and spices with a blender until creamy and smooth1. butter or oil2. eggs3. sugar4. pumpkin5. vanilla
Fold in flour until creamy.
Baking:
Preheat the oven to 330 degrees. Bake at 330 for 35-45 minute depending on the toothpick test to see if they are done.
I use a little of the butter in the pans and then a spoon of flour to line the sides of the pans so the breads will come out of the pans easily.
Pass the Toothpick Test
Often called the toothpick test but you can use any long thin skewer or toothpick for this. Poke the cake when it starts to golden around the edges as the baking time comes close to the end and you are not quite sure if you should take the cake out. If there is dough on the toothpick then leave it in the oven. NO dough on the toothpick then it is ready to come out
Pumpkin bread tends to be a more moist cake so depending on the oven it may need more time. Convection ovens tend to need shorter bake times but, you know your oven.
We baked this in a convection oven.
