This recipe was inspired by a family recipe and my favorite orange cookies. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do! Flavor is best if baked the day before serving.

Ingredients

  • 3 ½ cups all-purpose flour, sifted

  • 3 cups white sugar

  • 2 tablespoons grated orange zest

  • 2 teaspoons baking soda

  • 2 teaspoons ground nutmeg

  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

  • 1 ½ teaspoons salt

  • ½ teaspoon ground ginger

  • 4 eggs, beaten

  • 2 cups pumpkin

  • ¾ cup canola oil

  • cup milk

  • ¼ cup orange juice

For the Glaze:

  • cup confectioners' sugar

  • 2 teaspoons lemon juice, or as needed

  • 2 teaspoons orange juice

  • 1 cinnamon stick, freshly grated

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and lightly flour 2 loaf pans.

  2. Combine flour, white sugar, orange zest, baking soda, nutmeg, cinnamon, salt, and ginger in a bowl.

  3. Beat eggs in a separate bowl using an electric mixer until soft peaks form. Add pumpkin, oil, milk, and 1/4 cup orange juice; beat on medium speed until combined. Add the flour mixture in 2 batches, blending well after each addition. Pour batter into the prepared pans.

  4. Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 1 hour. Cool slightly, about 5 minutes. Turn loaves onto a rack to finish cooling, about 20 minutes more.

  5. Mix confectioners' sugar, lemon juice, and 2 teaspoons orange juice until desired consistency is reached. Drizzle over the bread. Top with freshly grated cinnamon.
