Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350°F.

In a 8x5-inch loaf pan; lightly butter or spray with baking spray and then dust wit flour (tap out any excess flour and discard), set aside.

In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, ginger, and salt.

In a large bowl, whisk together sugars, pumpkin, melted butter, and eggs. Next add in the flour mixture, and stir until just combined.

Pour batter into the prepared pan. Bake until a cake tester is inserted into the center and comes out with only a smidgen coating it, which is about 60 to 70 minutes.

Let cool 10 minutes; invert pan and transfer the loaf to a wire rack to cool completely.

GLAZE:

Heat a small skillet over medium/medium-high heat.

Once the pan is hot, add in the two tablespoons of unsalted butter. The butter should instantly start to melt and turn golden.

Once melted and a deep golden, turn off the heat and add in the maple syrup and vanilla, whisking constantly (it should bubble up).

Once the bubbles have subsided a bit, whisk in the powdered sugar. Keep whisking while adding the tablespoon of heavy creamy and a pinch of kosher salt.

Drizzle warm icing over cooled cake. Slice and serve!
