Ingredients

• 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
• 1 teaspoon ground ginger
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoons ground nutmeg
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 cups granulated sugar
• 0.5 cups brown sugar, packed
• 0.5 cups unsalted butter, softened
• 2 large eggs
• 1 cups pumpkin puree
• 0.5 cups molasses
• 2 tablespoons fresh ginger, grated
• 0.5 cups whole milk

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan. Line the bottom with parchment paper for easy removal.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Set this dry mixture aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, beat the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and softened butter together until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.

Step 4

Add the eggs one at a time to the butter mixture, beating well after each addition.

Step 5

Mix in the pumpkin puree, molasses, and grated fresh ginger until fully combined.

Step 6

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture in three additions, alternating with the milk. Start and end with the dry ingredients. Mix gently until just combined; do not overmix.

Step 7

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

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 45–50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the loaf comes out clean.

Step 9

Allow the gingerbread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Slice and serve as is, or with a dollop of whipped cream for an extra treat!
