Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease and flour a 9x5-inch loaf pan.
  2. Step 2: In a large bowl, whisk together 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 tsp baking soda, 2 tsp ground cinnamon, 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg, 1/4 tsp ground cloves, and 1/2 tsp salt until evenly combined.
  3. Step 3: In a separate large bowl, beat 1 cup granulated sugar, 1/2 cup packed brown sugar, and 1/2 cup vegetable oil until smooth. Add 3 large eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
  4. Step 4: Stir in 1 1/2 cups pure pumpkin puree and 1 tsp vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
  5. Step 5: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, folding gently until just combined. Fold in 1 cup chopped walnuts.
  6. Step 6: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top. Bake for 60-70 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean and the top is golden brown.
  7. Step 7: Let the bread cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
