Equipment

Loaf pans
electric mixer
Mixing bowls

Ingredients

3.5 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
1.5 teaspoons salt
0.5 teaspoon ground ginger
4 eggs beaten
2 cups pumpkin
0.75 cup canola oil
0.67 cup milk
0.25 cup orange juice

For the Glaze

0.67 cup confectioners' sugar
2 teaspoons lemon juice or as needed
2 teaspoons orange juice
1 cinnamon stick freshly grated

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and lightly flour 2 loaf pans.
Combine flour, white sugar, orange zest, baking soda, nutmeg, cinnamon, salt, and ginger in a bowl.
Beat eggs in a separate bowl using an electric mixer until soft peaks form. Add pumpkin, oil, milk, and ¼ 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.
Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 1 hour. Cool slightly, about 5 minutes. Turn loaves onto a rack to finish cooling, about 20 minutes more.
Mix confectioners' sugar, lemon juice, and 2 teaspoons orange juice until desired consistency is reached. Drizzle over the bread. Top with freshly grated cinnamon.

Notes

Flavor is best if baked the day before serving.
