Pumpkin Spice Batter
Start by preheating your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Prepare a loaf pan with parchment paper and set aside.
In a mixing bowl you are starting by adding the brown sugar, white sugars and eggs. Whisk this together until combined. Then add in the other wet ingredients of pumpkin puree and milk. I love how pumpkin puree helps create that signature pumpkin flavor and adds so much moisture to this recipe.
Whisk this together once again until smooth. Then go in with the flour, baking soda, salt and all of your spices. This along with pumpkin puree give all the flavor to this wonderful pumpkin spice bread. Fold the dry ingredients in with a rubber spatula or wooden spoon until it becomes a thick batter, like the image shown all the way to the right above. Be sure to mix only until thoroughly combined, as overmixing can cake toughness during the baking process.
How to Make Moist Chocolate Cake
2. Don’t Overmix – Overmixing can be the cause of a tough cake. When it comes to batter, ensure you mix until just combined. This is why the order of ingredients can also be important, allowing for the least amount of mixing to achieve a finished smooth batter. This triple chocolate Bundt cake recipe is a good example, since all the dry ingredients are added at once and then all the wet.
3. Don’t Overbake – This is the last main cause of a tough cake. Baking to doneness is important, but no longer than necessary. When following any recipe it is smart to place a timer for 5 minutes before it should be done, as everyone’s oven temperature varies and this allows you to check the cake yourself by inserting a toothpick. This can shave off 5 minutes of unnecessary baking that could lead to a less moist cake.
Bake Bread
Transfer this pumpkin spice batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread evenly. Bake in the oven for 60-65 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. For precaution always set an extra timer 5 to 10 minutes before the given bake time because oven temperatures vary from house to house. This will ensure you don’t overcook the bread if you happen to have a hotter oven.
Let this cool for 10 minutes before removing from the pan. While we wait, make the chocolate drizzle.
Chocolate Drizzle
I loved the addition of a chocolate drizzle to this super moist pumpkin spice bread. I think it definitely adds another layer of decadence and flavor to this already delicious dessert.
To make this place the chocolate chips and coconut oil in a microwave safe bowl. Heat at 30 second intervals, stirring in between until everything is completely melted and smooth.
Take a spoon and drizzle this all over the cooled pumpkin spice bread.
Cut and DEVOUR!
Now its time to slice into this super moist pumpkin spice bread. The bursting pumpkin spice flavor and chocolate coating will have you on the floor it is so good. Melting this chocolate drizzle with coconut oil helps the drizzle stay melted longer instead of hardening on top of the bread, like regular melted chocolate chips would. This adds even more to the super moist texture of this dessert.
I hope you enjoyed this super moist pumpkin spice bread recipe. Whether you want to indulge in this for breakfast, dessert or at any time of the day, every bite is utterly amazing.
To store this, I find cutting the loaf fully into all its slices and then wrapping in cling wrap to be the best form of storage. This will keep them moist and fresh for up to 4 days at room temperature.
