  • 8. Now add the Black walnuts and blend together till mixed into batter.
  • 9. Lastly add the orange juice, orange zest, both extracts, and mix together till througly blended.
  • 10. Prepare both bundt pans by spraying with non stick cooking spray or bakers joy, and then evenly divide batter between the 2 pans. Place in preheated 350 degrees F. oven and bake for 1 hour to 1 hour 5 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean when inserted into center of cake.

Recipe makes two (2) loaves!!! This is a very dense bread but it has the BEST flavor - best of both worlds - pumpkin and cranberry, and the grated orange peel adds so much flavor! Attributable to Julie Lincoln, published in Penzeys Spices Holiday 2013 magazine.

Time 1h15m

Number Of Ingredients 14

3 1/2 c flour
2 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp salt
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp baking powder
2 tsp grated orange rind
3/4 c butter, softened at room temperature
1 c white sugar
1 c light brown sugar
3 eggs
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
15 oz can pumpkin puree
1 c chopped fresh cranberries
1 c chopped walnuts or pecans

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350. Combine dry ingredients and set aside.
  • 2. In large mixing bowl, cream butter and both sugars. Beat in the eggs, one at a time.
  • 3. Add the vanilla, pumpkin and grated peel to butter mixture.
  • 4. Add the dry mixture in fourths to the butter mixture, mixing after each addition. Stir in cranberries and nuts.
  • 5. Divide the batter between two 8 x 4 1/4 inch greased and floured load pans and bake at 350 for 55 to 65 minutes (check after 55 minutes for a toothpick to come out clean).

Tips:

  • Use fresh or canned pumpkin. Fresh pumpkin will give your bread a more intense flavor, but canned pumpkin is a convenient option that works well.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the bread tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Let the bread cool completely before slicing and serving. This will help to prevent the bread from crumbling.
  • Store the bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. You can also freeze the bread for up to 2 months.
  • Serve the bread with your favorite toppings. Some popular toppings include butter, cream cheese, or maple syrup.
