how to make infused pumpkin bread
Put on your baker’s hat and get down to it! This bread comes together in a flash and is the perfect sweet treat for the holidays.
step 1:
Preheat the oven to 350˚F. Line a loaf pan with parchment paper; set aside.
step 2:
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, milk, oil, and brown sugar. Add the eggs and whisk until combined.
step 3:
Add the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon and stir—using a spatula—just until the dry ingredients are fully incorporated.
step 4:
Pour batter into the prepared pan, then top with turbinado sugar, if desired. Bake at 350˚F for 40-50 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack to cool for at least 30 minutes.
step 5:
While the bread is cooling, whip up the cream cheese frosting. Beat the butter and cream cheese on high speed for 2-3 minutes, then sift in the powdered sugar and beat for 1-2 minutes more.
step 6:
Add the lemon zest, lemon tincture, and vanilla extract; beat just until combined.
Spoon the frosting over the bread, slice, and enjoy!
