Ingredients:
- 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, sifted
- 3 cups white sugar
- 2 tablespoons grated orange zest
- 2 teaspoons baking soda
- 2 teaspoons ground nutmeg
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 4 eggs, beaten
- 2 cups pumpkin
- 3/4 cup canola oil
- 2/3 cup milk
- 1/4 cup orange juice
- For the Glaze:
- 2/3 cup confectioners' sugar
- 2 teaspoons lemon juice, or as needed
- 2 teaspoons orange juice
- 1 cinnamon stick, freshly grated
Directions:
- 1 Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and lightly flour 2 loaf pans.
- 2 Combine flour, white sugar, orange zest, baking soda, nutmeg, cinnamon, salt, and ginger in a bowl.
- 3 Beat eggs in a separate bowl using an electric mixer until soft peaks form. Add pumpkin, oil, milk, and 1/4 cup orange juice; beat on medium speed until combined. Add the flour mixture in 2 batches, blending well after each addition. Pour batter into the prepared pans.
