Seal this quick bread in plastic, then wrap with a pretty kitchen towel and tie it up with a ribbon. Add a card that suggests toasting slices of this moist bread for breakfast and spreading with light cream cheese for a special treat. You can even include a small crock of cream cheese in a basket with the bread for a hand-delivered gift. Ingredients:
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour (about 5 1/2 ounces) |
1/2 cup yellow cornmeal |
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder |
1 teaspoon ground ginger |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon baking soda |
1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom |
1/4 teaspoon ground mace |
3/4 cup packed dark brown sugar |
1/2 cup granulated sugar |
2 large eggs, lightly beaten |
1 cup canned pumpkin |
3 tablespoons canola oil |
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract |
1 cup golden raisins |
1/2 cup chopped walnuts |
cooking spray |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350°.
2. Lightly spoon flour into dry measuring cups; level with a knife. Combine flour and next 7 ingredients (through mace) in a large bowl; make a well in center of mixture.
3. Combine sugars and eggs in a medium bowl, stirring with a whisk. Add pumpkin, oil, and vanilla; stir well. Add raisins and nuts; add to flour mixture, stirring just until moist. Spoon batter into a 9 x 5-inch loaf pan coated with cooking spray. Bake at 350° for 50 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool 10 minutes in pan on a wire rack, and remove from pan. Cool completely on wire rack.
