Pumpkin Bread is a Classic American recipe for a classic moist and rich loaf cake containing pumpkin puree and walnuts that's baked in a bread tin, like a loaf.

Ingredients:

210g plain flour
1/2 tsp salt
200g sugar
1 tsp baking soda
250g pumpkin purée
120ml olive oil
2 eggs, beaten
60ml water
1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp allspice
100g coarsely chopped walnuts

Method:

Make the pumpkin purée by baking pumpkin flesh (without seeds or sinews) on a baking tray at 180°C (350°F/Gas Mark 4) for about 50 minutes. Allow to cool the scoop out the puréed flesh. Meanwhile sift together the flour, salt, sugar and baking soda.

Mix the pumpkin, oil, eggs, water and spices together then combine with the dry ingredients (but do not mix too thoroughly). Stir-in the nuts then pour the batter into a well-greased loaf tin. Place in an oven pre-heated to 180°C (350°F/Gas Mark 4) and bake for about 50 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the centre of the loaf comes out cleanly.

Turn the loaf out onto a wire rack and allow to cool completely before slicing.
