October 22, 2008
Tonight i made a really delicious Pumpkin Gingerbread with a rum glaze
INGREDIENTS (for 2 loaves)
- 3 cups sugar
- 1 cup vegetable oil
- 4 eggs
- 2/3 cup water
- 1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin puree
- 2 teaspoons ground ginger
- 1 teaspoon ground allspice
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon ground cloves
- 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
DIRECTIONS
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease two 9×5 inch loaf pans.
- In a large mixing, combine sugar, oil and eggs; beat until smooth. Add water and beat until well blended. Stir in pumpkin, ginger, allspice and cinnamon.
- In medium bowl, combine flour, soda, salt, and baking powder. Add dry ingredients to pumpkin mixture and blend just until all ingredients are mixed. Divide batter between prepared pans.
- Bake in preheated oven until toothpick comes out clean, about 1 hour 15 mins.
For the topping i mixed melted butter about 1 stick butter, 2 capfuls of rum flavoring, 1-1/2 cups confetioners sugar, and about 1/4 c milk. I only made one loaf so this is just a rough idea of how much you would need for 2 loaves.
