Total time: 45 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 2-1/2 cups All-purpose Flour; 2 teaspoons Baking Soda; 1 teaspoon Salt; 1/2 teaspoons Ground Ginger; 2 teaspoons Cinnamon; 1 package Gingerbread Flavored Instant Pudding Mix, 3.4 Ounce Box; 1 package Cheesecake Flavored Instant Pudding Mix, 3.4 Ounce Box; 5 Large Eggs; 1-1/2 cup Sugar; 1-1/2 cup Vegetable Oil; 2 cups Pumpkin Puree; 4 teaspoons Vanilla Extract

Servings: persons

2-1/2 cups All-purpose Flour
2 teaspoons Baking Soda
1 teaspoon Salt
1/2 teaspoons Ground Ginger
2 teaspoons Cinnamon
1 package Gingerbread Flavored Instant Pudding Mix, 3.4 Ounce Box
1 package Cheesecake Flavored Instant Pudding Mix, 3.4 Ounce Box
5 Large Eggs
1-1/2 cup Sugar
1-1/2 cup Vegetable Oil
2 cups Pumpkin Puree
4 teaspoons Vanilla Extract

1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and flour (or just use cooking spray) two 8 or 9 inch loaf pans.
2
In a large bowl, mix together the dry ingredients (the flour down to and including the pudding mixes). Set aside.
3
In a medium bowl, beat the eggs well. (Bad, bad, eggs!! Erhmmm... sorry.) Add the rest of the ingredients on the above list into the eggs and mix well.
4
Pour the egg mixture into the flour mixture and stir until just combined. Pour batter into greased pans.
5
Bake at 350F for about 70 minutes (longer if using 8 inch pans) or until a wooden skewer inserted in middle comes out clean or with crumbs on it. There should be no loose batter on the skewer. Cover with foil if it starts to brown too much.
6
When done, remove from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 5 minutes then turn it out onto a wire rack to cool completely.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
