Ingredients
  

  • 3 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 ½ teaspoons salt
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cloves
  • 4 large eggs at room temperature
  • 1 ¼ cups granulated sugar
  • 1 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1 can 15 ounces pure pumpkin purée
  • 1 cup vegetable or canola oil
  • ½ cup full-fat sour cream
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease and flour two 9 x 5-inch loaf pans or line them with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and cloves.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until well combined.
  • Add the pumpkin purée, oil, sour cream, and vanilla extract to the egg mixture. Whisk until smooth.
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Stir gently just until no streaks of flour remain. Do not overmix.
  • Divide the batter evenly between the prepared loaf pans and smooth the tops.
  • Bake for 55 to 65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs attached.
  • Allow the loaves to cool in the pans for 15 minutes. Carefully remove them and transfer them to a wire rack to finish cooling for at least 45 minutes before slicing.
