Preparation

Step 1

1. Preheat over to 375º. Butter & flour two 8 1/2 x 4 1/2 inch (6 cup) loaf pans (see note below); set aside. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, ginger, & salt. In a medium bowl, whisk together sugars, pumpkin, melted butter, & eggs; add flour mixture, and stir until just combined.

2. Divide batter between prepared pans. Bake until a toothpick inserted in center of loaves comes out clean, about 50 minutes. Let cool 10 minutes; invert pans and transfer loaves to a wire rack to cool completely. Glaze, if desired.
