Ingredients
  • ½ c. unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 c. brown sugar
  • 1 c. pumpkin puree
  • 2 eggs
  • 1½ t. ground cinnamon
  • ½ t. ground ginger
  • ¼ t. nutmeg
  • ¼ t. cloves
  • 1 t. baking powder
  • 1 t. baking soda
  • 1 t. salt
  • 1½ c. all purpose flour
  • For the glaze:
  • ½ c. butter
  • 1 - 1½ c. powdered sugar
  • 1-2 T. maple syrup
  • ¼ c. milk, optional if glaze is too thick
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Liberally grease a bundt pan or 9" loaf pan with cooking spray. Set aside.
  2. Meanwhile, in a bowl combine all of the above ingredients and with an electrick mixer, beat at medium speed, scraping down the sides as necessary.
  3. Pour mixture into prepared pan. Bake for approximately 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool for about 15 minutes, then gently transfer to platter.
  4. While bread cools, make the glaze. In a small saucepan, heat butter over medium-low heat until melted. Continue cooking, watching butter carefully until it sizzles - about 3-4 minutes. Remove butter from heat and cool completely. Then using a whisk, stir in the powdered sugar and maple syrup until a soft glaze has formed.
  5. Pour glaze generously over top of the pumpkin loaf and let it set, about 30 minutes. Cut into slices and enjoy!
