Ingredients

• 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 1.5 cups pumpkin puree
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup light brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon baking powder
• 1.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 0.25 teaspoon ground cloves
• 0.5 teaspoon kosher salt
• 2 large eggs
• 0.5 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled
• 0.25 cup whole milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons raw sugar (for topping)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan with butter or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, light brown sugar, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and salt until well combined.

Step 3

In a separate medium bowl, whisk the eggs, pumpkin puree, melted butter, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth and fully incorporated.

Step 4

Slowly fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients using a spatula or wooden spoon. Stir just until the batter is combined; do not overmix as this will make the bread dense.

Step 5

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread the top evenly with a spatula.

Step 6

Sprinkle the raw sugar evenly over the top of the batter for a sweet and slightly crunchy crust.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 8

Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Step 9

Serve slices of Pan Dulce De Calabaza on their own or with a spread of butter or cream cheese. Enjoy!
