Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour (240 grams)
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar (150 grams)
  • 1/2 cup dark brown sugar (100 grams)
  • 2 tablespoons pumpkin pie spice
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder (10 grams)
  • 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 1 cup salted butter, room temperature (227 grams)
  • 3 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree (244 grams)
  • 2 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar, spooned and leveled (180 grams)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla bean paste
  • 1–2 tablespoons milk (15–30 mL)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven and prepare a 9×5 inch loaf pan by greasing or lining it.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, pumpkin pie spice, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
  3. In another bowl, beat the butter until creamy. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  4. Mix in the pumpkin puree until fully incorporated.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.
  6. Pour the batter evenly into the prepared loaf pan.
  7. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 60-65 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  8. Allow the pumpkin bread to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
  9. For the frosting, beat the softened cream cheese and butter together until smooth.
  10. Add powdered sugar, vanilla bean paste, and milk, then whip until light and fluffy.
  11. Spread the cream cheese frosting evenly over the cooled pumpkin bread before serving.

Notes

Be careful not to overmix the batter to keep the loaf light and fluffy. The bread stays moist for several days and is perfect for breakfast or dessert.
