GRANDMA'S PUMPKIN TEA BREAD

Steps:

• Place fresh pumpkin in a small pan and fill with water. Boil pumpkin until soft, about 15 minutes. Drain and puree pumpkin. Measure 2 cups of pumpkin puree for use in this recipe.
• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Lightly grease two 9x5 inch loaf pans.
• In a large bowl, cream together the sugar and vegetable oil. Stir in the eggs one at a time, beating well with each addition. Stir in the 2 cups pumpkin puree, then stir in the vanilla, almond, butter extract, and lemon extract.
• In a separate bowl, sift together all-purpose flour, wheat flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and mace. Stir flour mixture into pumpkin mixture; pour into prepared pans.
• Bake in preheated oven for 50 to 55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean. Cool loaf in the pan for 15 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.

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.
