Instructions
Pumpkin Bread Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and prepare a 9x5-inch loaf pan by spraying it with non-stick spray or lightly greasing it.
- In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, spices, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, add the egg, pumpkin purée, brown sugar, granulated sugar, vegetable oil, sour cream, and vanilla. Mix to combine.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Turn the batter out into the prepared pan and use a spatula to evenly spread it.
- Bake for 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Keep an eye out for the top browning too quickly. Tent the loaf pan with foil mid-way through baking if needed. (If using a dark coated pan, start checking for doneness at the 40 minute mark)
- Allow the bread to cool completely.
- While the bread cools, make the cream cheese frosting.
Cream Cheese Frosting Instructions
- Using a stand mixer or a hand mixer, mix together softened cream cheese and butter until well combined.
- Add in vanilla extract and salt.
- Slowly add in the powdered sugar, one cup at a time. Mix on medium-low speed. Scrape down the sides of the bowl to ensure everything is mixed well.
- Spread the cream cheese frosting on the pumpkin bread once it has cooled completely.
