Ingredients
-
2 cups white sugar
-
1 ½ cups applesauce
-
2 cups pumpkin puree
-
4 eggs, beaten
-
2 teaspoons baking powder
-
2 teaspoons baking soda
-
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
-
1 teaspoon salt
-
½ teaspoon ground ginger
-
½ teaspoon ground cloves
-
¼ teaspoon ground mace
-
½ cup chopped walnuts (Optional)
-
½ cup semisweet chocolate chips (Optional)
-
3 cups all-purpose flour
-
¼ cup confectioners' sugar
Directions
-
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease two 9x5-inch loaf pans.
-
Mix white sugar and applesauce together in a large bowl; stir pumpkin puree and eggs into sugar mixture until smooth. Mix baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, salt, ginger, cloves, and mace into pumpkin mixture; fold in walnuts and chocolate chips. Stir flour into pumpkin mixture until fully incorporated. Pour batter into the prepared loaf pans.
-
Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center of each loaf comes out clean, 1 hour. Cool in the pans for 10 minutes before removing to cool completely on a wire rack. Sprinkle each loaf with confectioners' sugar.
Cook’s Note
We prefer pecans and semisweet chocolate chips in our pumpkin bread. Most often I bake it in a 9x13-inch pan and once it's cooled, I top it off with cream cheese frosting.
