Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 9×5-inch loaf pan by greasing or lining it with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
- Stir in pumpkin puree and vanilla extract until thoroughly combined.
- Gradually mix in dry ingredients until just incorporated; avoid overmixing.
- For the topping, combine granulated sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl.
- Layer half of the batter in the prepared pan, sprinkle half of the cinnamon-sugar topping, then add the remaining batter followed by the rest of the topping.
- Swirl the batter gently with a knife for a marbled effect.
- Bake for 50–60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- Cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
