Time 2h30m

Yield 1 loaf

Number Of Ingredients 20

Nonstick cooking spray, for the loaf pan
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 cup unsweetened pumpkin puree
8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted and cooled
1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs, at room temperature
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 cup confectioners' sugar
2 tablespoons strongly steeped chai tea or chai tea concentrate
1 tablespoon heavy cream
Pinch of ground cinnamon

Steps:

  • For the loaf: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9-by-5-inch loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray. Line with a piece of parchment paper, allowing the sides to hang over the edges of the pan.
  • Whisk together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, baking soda, cardamom, ginger, salt, cloves and nutmeg in a medium bowl until well combined.
  • Whisk together the pumpkin, butter, brown sugar, granulated sugar, eggs and vanilla in a large bowl until well combined. Add the dry ingredients to the bowl and stir until completely incorporated.
  • Pour into the prepared loaf pan and bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out mostly clean with a few moist crumbs sticking to it and the cake springs back when gently pressed, 50 minutes to 1 hour. Let cool for 30 minutes before unmolding and cooling completely on a wire rack.
  • For the glaze: In the meantime, whisk together the confectioners' sugar, chai tea, cream and cinnamon in a small bowl. Drizzle over the top of the cooled loaf and let the glaze set before slicing and serving.

I found this loaf to be a bit dry. Maybe I overbaked it? I'll try it again and see if I can get it right.

This loaf was a bit too dense for my taste, but the flavor was spot on. I'll try it again with a few adjustments.
