Ingredients

Scale

1/2 cup (113g) unsalted butter, softened

1 cup (200g) granulated sugar

2 large eggs

1 cup (245g) canned pumpkin puree

1/4 cup (60ml) milk

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg

Snickerdoodle Topping:

1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar

1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×5-inch loaf pan.

2. Cream together softened butter and 1 cup sugar until light and fluffy.

3. Beat in eggs, then stir in pumpkin puree, milk, and vanilla.

4. Whisk together flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a separate bowl.

5. Gradually add dry ingredients to wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.

6. Pour batter into prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.

7. Mix together 1/4 cup sugar and 1 tablespoon cinnamon for the topping.

8. Sprinkle cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly over the top of the batter.

9. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Tent with foil if the top browns too quickly.

10. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

11. Serve and enjoy!

Notes

Don’t overmix the batter.

Use room temperature ingredients.

Cool completely before slicing.
