PUMPKIN CHAI BREAD RECIPE

Steps:

• Prep your oven and pan. Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 350°F. Spray a 9 x 5-inch loaf pan with cooking spray and line it with parchment paper, leaving a 2-inch overhang on the long sides. Spray the parchment, too.
• Whisk the dry ingredients. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cardamom, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, nutmeg, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
• Whisk the wet ingredients. In another medium bowl, whisk together the pumpkin, oil, vanilla, sugar, and eggs.
• Make the muffin batter. Gradually mix in the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined.
• Assemble the loaf cake. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and use an offset spatula to smooth the top. Sprinkle with the remaining sugar for the garnish.
• Bake the loaf cake. Set the loaf pan on a sheet pan and bake for 60 to 70 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the center of the cake comes out with a few crumbs attached. There will still be patches of sugar on top, but that's totally okay, I promise! In fact, that's the look you want. Cool on a wire rack.
• Serve and store. Serve warm or at room temperature. The cake can be stored at room temperature, wrapped tightly in plastic wrap, for up to 3 days.

CHAI-SPICED PUMPKIN LOAF

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.
