Ingredients
Method
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan. Whisk sugar, oil, eggs, pumpkin, and vanilla in a large bowl until smooth.
- Sprinkle flour, baking soda, salt, and spices over the wet mixture. Fold with a spatula just until no dry streaks remain.
- Pour batter into the pan, smooth the top, and sprinkle with coarse sugar if using.
- Bake 55-65 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool 10 minutes in pan, then turn out onto a rack and cool completely before slicing.
Notes
If you only have pumpkin pie spice on hand, use 2 1/2 teaspoons in place of the individual spices. For the most tender crumb, measure the flour by spooning it into the cup and leveling it off rather than scooping.
