Equipment

  • 9 x 5 loaf pan
  • parchment paper
  • oven adjusted to center rack position
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • large mixing bowl
  • medium mixing bowl
  • small mixing bowl
  • Whisk
  • spoon
  • plastic gloves

Ingredients

  • 1⅔ cups organic all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 2 teaspoons pumpkin spice
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 2 large eggs room temperature
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup light brown sugar
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree
  • ½ cup whole milk room temperature
  • ¼ cup sour cream room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Streusel Topping

  • ¾ cup organic, all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup light brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon nutmeg
  • teaspoon Kosher salt
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter

Icing

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2-3 tablespoons whole milk
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

Pumpkin Bread

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x5-inch loaf pan, or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: flour, cornstarch, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, pumpkin spice, and salt. Set aside.
  • In a separate large bowl, whisk the eggs until they are light and frothy, about 2 minutes. Whisk in the granulated sugar and brown sugar until the mixture is thick and light in color, about 3 minutes.
  • Add the pumpkin puree, whole milk, sour cream, and vanilla extract. Whisk just until everything is combined. The mixture may look a little clumpy, and that's okay.
  • Pour the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients. Using a whisk or a spatula, mix just until no streaks of flour remain. Be careful not to overmix; a few small lumps are fine.
  • For the streusel, in a medium bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
  • Add the cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Using your fingers or a fork, work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs. Set the bowl aside while you prepare the bread batter.
  • Pour the batter into your prepared loaf pan and spread it evenly. Sprinkle the entire amount of the prepared streusel topping evenly over the top of the batter.
  • Bake for 70 to 90 minutes, or until a wooden skewer or toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean. If the bread is browning too quickly, tent the top of it with a piece of aluminum foil. Ovens vary so I suggest checking the bread at the 70-minute mark. If the toothpick comes out wet, continue to cook in 10-minute increments until the top feels firm, and the toothpick, or tester comes out clean.
  • Let the bread cool in the pan for about 15 minutes before carefully transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • For the icing, mix ingredients and set aside to thicken as the cake cools.
  • Ice once cooled, and slice.
