Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, 1 tsp baking soda, 1/2 tsp salt, 2 tsp ground cinnamon, 1 tsp ground ginger, 1/2 tsp ground cardamom, and 1/4 tsp ground cloves.
  2. Step 2: In another bowl, combine 1/2 cup melted unsalted butter with 1 cup granulated sugar and 1/2 cup packed brown sugar. Beat in 2 large eggs one at a time, then stir in 1 1/2 cups pumpkin puree and 1 tsp vanilla extract until smooth.
  3. Step 3: Alternate adding the dry flour mixture and 1/4 cup buttermilk to the wet ingredients, beginning and ending with the flour mixture. Mix just until combined; do not overmix.
  4. Step 4: Pour the batter into a greased 9x5-inch loaf pan, smoothing the top. Bake for 60-70 minutes until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean.
  5. Step 5: Let the bread cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
