Ingredients
- 3/4 cup butter, softened
- 2 cups white sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 tsp ground cloves
- 1 tsp ground nutmeg
- 2 cups flour
- 1 (15oz) can pumpkin puree
- Powdered sugar, to dust
How to Make
-
Step 1: Heat oven to 325F for at least 15 minutes. Traditionally, a 9-inch spring-form pan was used but we've had better luck with a tube pan. You could probably use 2 loaf pans too but grease and flour those. No need to grease the spring-form or tube-pan.
-
Step 2: Cream butter and sugar together. Add eggs, beating well after each one.
-
Step 3: Add salt, baking powder, baking soda and spices. Mix well.
-
Step 4: Add a fourth of the flour alternately with a fourth of the pumpkin till gone. Mix well.
-
Step 5: For an tube-pan bake 1 hour, until tests clean. For a 9-inch spring-form pan bake 1 hr 15 min, until tests clean.
-
Step 6: Let cool and remove from pan. Using a butter knife around the edges and bottom of the tube-pan or spring-form works well.
-
Step 7: Place on a serving platter, whole or sliced, and dust with powdered sugar.
