You can try this moist loaf with an orange cream spread, butter, or leave plain. For a variation, try substituting dates for the raisins.

Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 12 servings

  • 1 large orange

  • ⅓ cup butter, softened

  • 1 ⅓ cups white sugar

  • 2 eggs

  • 1 cup canned pumpkin

  • ⅓ cup water

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour

  • 1 teaspoon baking soda

  • ½ teaspoon baking powder

  • ¾ teaspoon salt

  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon

  • ½ teaspoon ground cloves

  • ½ cup chopped walnuts

  • ½ cup chopped raisins

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan.

  2. Cut orange into wedges, and remove seeds. Place orange, peel and all, in a food processor. Pulse until finely chopped; set aside.

  3. In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until smooth. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the pumpkin, water, and the ground orange. Mix together flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and cloves. Stir into batter just until moistened. Stir in nuts and raisins. Spoon into the prepared loaf pan.

  4. Bake for 1 hour in the preheated oven, or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Let stand 10 minutes, then remove from pan, and cool on a wire rack.
