Tips and Tricks

Here are some useful tips for making the perfect Pumpkin bread:

– Make sure to sift the Flour and Baking powder before mixing them together. This will help distribute the leavening agent evenly and prevent the loaf from becoming too dense.
– Consider adding raisins or dried cranberries to the batter for extra flavor and texture.
– To avoid overbaking, keep an eye on the loaf and check its doneness with a toothpick.
– Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days, or freeze for up to three months.
– For a creamier, more indulgent version, top the bread with cream cheese frosting or a simple powdered sugar glaze.
