Instructions:
-
Begin by preheating your oven to a cozy 359°F (182°C), setting the stage for the baking magic that’s about to happen.
-
In a mixing bowl, whisk together 3 3/4 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of baking soda, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, and a tantalizing 1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon. This aromatic blend forms the foundation of your Pumpkin Bread.
-
In another large bowl, let the baking symphony commence! Beat together 3/4 cup of granulated sugar, 1 cup of light-brown sugar, 2 eggs, and an enchanting 1/2 teaspoon of black walnut extract. Stir this concoction with a wooden spoon until it transforms into a velvety symphony of sweetness.
-
Now, it’s time for a graceful dance of dry and wet ingredients. Gradually add the flour mixture to the sugar and egg blend, alternating with 2 cups of canned solid-pack pumpkin. Take it slow, allowing each addition to pirouette gracefully into the mixture. Repeat this dance thrice, ensuring a harmonious blend after each addition.
-
Stir in 1/2 cup of walnut pieces, adding a delightful crunch to your Pumpkin Bread ensemble. This is where texture meets taste, creating a sensory masterpiece.
-
Prepare your baking stage by lightly greasing and flouring two 1-pound coffee cans, setting the scene for the grand finale. Spoon your batter evenly into these cans, filling them with promise halfway to the brim.
-
The oven beckons! Place your filled cans in the preheated oven and let them bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the breads emerges clean, like a satisfied audience applauding a flawless performance.
-
The curtains fall, but the show isn’t over. Let your Pumpkin Bread cool in the cans on a wire rack for 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to settle.
-
As the finale approaches, run a thin knife around the edges, releasing the breads from their can-shaped stage. Gently turn them out onto the wire rack, letting them cool completely. The aroma of success fills the air!
Indulge in the rich tapestry of flavors, savoring each bite of this Pumpkin Bread masterpiece. Share it with loved ones or relish it as a personal culinary triumph. Our recipe promises not just a delightful treat but a journey into the heart of autumnal bliss. Happy baking! 🍂🧡
