Ingredients
Scale
- For the Loaf:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup vegetable oil
- 3 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin puree
- For the Streusel Topping:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×5 inch loaf pan, or line it with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined. Stir in the pumpkin puree.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Prepare the streusel topping: In a medium bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Pour half of the pumpkin batter into the prepared loaf pan. Sprinkle half of the streusel topping over the batter.
- Pour the remaining batter over the streusel layer. Sprinkle the remaining streusel topping evenly over the top.
- Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the loaf cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For a bakery-style top, ensure your streusel is evenly distributed.
- This loaf freezes well; slice and freeze for later enjoyment.
- Consider this a great option for meal planning, similar to how you might plan for a meal delivery service.
