Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350F (180C). Grease a 9 x 5-inch (23x13 cm) loaf pan and line it with parchment paper.
  • In a medium bowl combine flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg and cloves.
  • In a large bowl, mix the eggs with sugar, until creamy and thick. Add vegetable oil and vanilla extract and mix to combine.
  • Add buttermilk and pumpkin puree and mix until well incorporated.
  • With the mixer on low, gradually incorporate the flour mixture until all is well incorporated.
  • Reserve about 2 cups (500g) of pumpkin batter. Set aside.
  • In a small bowl mix cocoa powder with milk. Add to the reserved 2 cups of pumpkin batter. Mix to incorporate.
  • Pour the pumpkin batter into the prepared pan. Add the chocolate batter on top. Use a knife or skewer to create swirls.
  • Bake for 60-70 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. If browns too fast, you can cover it with aluminum foil and continue baking.
  • Let bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes and then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Enjoy as is or alongside a cup of coffee or milk.
