List of Ingredients



• 2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
  
• ¼ cup granulated sugar
  
• 2 tsp baking powder
  
• 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  
• ½ tsp ground nutmeg
  
• ¼ tsp baking soda
  
• ¼ tsp each: ground ginger and ground cloves
  
• ¼ tsp salt
  
• ½ cup chopped walnuts
  
• ¼ cup raisins
  
• 2 eggs
  
• 1 cup canned pumpkin purée
  
• ½ cup firmly packed brown sugar
  
• ½ tsp vanilla
  
• 5 Tbsp plus 1 teaspoon (1/3 cup) butter, melted
  






Instructions



1. Heat the oven to 350° F.
   Mix together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, baking soda, ginger, cloves and salt, stirring until combined. Stir in the walnuts and raisins; set aside.
   
   
2. Beat the eggs in a medium bowl; mix in the pumpkin, brown sugar, vanilla and melted butter. Slowly fold this mixture into the flour mixture, mixing just until dry ingredients are moistened.
   
   
3. Transfer batter to a greased, lightly floured 8½- x 4½-inch loaf pan; bake until loaf is well browned and a wooden skewer inserted in center comes out clean, 50 to 55 minutes. Let cool in pan 10 minutes; turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely before slicing, about 1 to 2 hours.
