Prep Time:20 minutes
Cook Time:50 minutes
Total Time:1 hour 10 minutes

Equipment

  • 2 9x5 inch loaf pan
  • Hand mixer
  • Mixing Bowls

Ingredients

  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 cups pureed pumpkin (one 15-ounce can)
  • 4 eggs
  • 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon cloves
  • ¼ teaspoon allspice
  • ¾ cup sourdough starter discard unfed is fine

Instructions

  • Prep. Preheat oven to 350°F with the rack in the center. Grease and flour two 9x5 inch loaf pans, or line them with parchment paper.
  • Mix wet ingredients. In a large mixing bowl, beat the canned pumpkin, sugar, and oil until well combined, using an electric hand mixer on medium speed.
  • Add eggs. Add eggs one at a time, beating until blended and scraping down the bowl as necessary.
  • Mix dry ingredients. In a separate mixing bowl, combine the flour, spices, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
  • Add dry ingredients to batter. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the pumpkin-sugar mixture, mixing on low until just combined.
  • Add starter. Stir in the sourdough starter by hand, making sure everything is well incorporated.
  • Bake. Pour the batter evenly into the prepared loaf pans, smoothing the top. Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Cool. Cool in the pans for about 15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Cover with a clean tea towel after removing from the pans.

Notes

Check the loaves after 50 minutes since oven temperatures can vary.
To make this by hand, just use a whisk and beat well.
