Prep Time 20 minutes
Cook Time 1 hour
Servings 2 loaves

Equipment

  • 2 - 8 X 4 loaf pans

Ingredients

  • ¾ cup butter, softened
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 3 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 teaspoon vanilla
  • 2 tablespoons vinegar
  • 2 ¼ cups flour
  • ½ teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoons baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 cup raisins
  • 1 can pure pumpkin, 15 ounces

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease and flour two 8 X 4 loaf pans. Set aside.
  • In a medium bowl, beat butter at medium speed with an electric mixer until creamy.
  • Gradually add the sugars, beat well.
  • Add room temperature eggs, one at a time, beating just until the yellow disappears.
  • Add in the vanilla and vinegar and mix.
  • In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg. Add the raisins and toss with your hands, breaking up any clumps of raisins.
  • Add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, alternating with the pumpkin, with the lowest setting on the mixer - beginning and ending with the flour mixture. Mix until just combined, do not over mix.
  • Spoon the batter into the prepared loaf pans, filling about ⅔ full. Bake at 350°F for 50-60 minutes (or a little more) or until a wooden toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • Cool bread on a cooling rack for 10 minutes, then remove the bread from pans and let the bread cool completely.

Notes

This bread freezes well. Allow the bread to cool completely, wrap the bread in foil, and place in a ziplock freezer bag, pressing out all the air. Eat within 3 months.
