Tips:

  • Use fresh or canned pumpkin puree. Fresh pumpkin puree will give your gingerbread loaf a more intense pumpkin flavor, but canned pumpkin puree is a convenient option that works just as well.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make your gingerbread loaf tough, so be sure to mix just until the ingredients are well combined.
  • Bake the gingerbread loaf until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. This will ensure that the loaf is cooked through.
  • Let the gingerbread loaf cool completely before frosting it. This will help the frosting to set properly.
  • Store the gingerbread loaf in an airtight container at room temperature. The loaf will stay fresh for up to 3 days.
