Ingredients
Scale
- 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar (for topping)

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 9×5-inch loaf pan by greasing it or lining with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
- Stir in pumpkin puree and vanilla extract until fully combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and stir until just combined.
- For the topping, mix granulated sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl.
- Pour half of the batter into the prepared loaf pan and sprinkle with half of the cinnamon-sugar mixture. Add the remaining batter on top and finish with the rest of the topping.
- Use a knife to gently swirl through the batter for a marbled effect.
- Bake for 50–60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Allow to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
