  • Measuring scales

  • Sieve

  • Baking parchment

  • Cooling rack

Ingredients

  • For the Pumpkin Loaf:

  • 125g unsalted butter (softened)

  • 50g vegetable oil

  • 150g Gem Caster Sugar

  • 2 eggs

  • 200g pumpkin purée (canned or homemade)

  • 250g Gem Self-Raising Flour

  • Pinch of salt

  • 1 tsp cinnamon

  • 1 tsp nutmeg

  • ½ tsp ground ginger

  • For the Sticky Date Topping:

  • 100g date syrup

  • 50g Gem Icing Sugar

Instructions

1
Preheat your oven to 170°C (fan). Line a loaf pan with parchment paper.
2
In a large bowl, beat together the butter, oil, and Gem Caster Sugar until the mixture is pale, creamy, and fluffy.
3
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
4
Gently fold in the pumpkin purée until well combined.
5
Sprinkle in the cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and a pinch of salt. Then sift in the Gem Self-Raising Flour. Fold everything together gently.
6
Pour the batter into your lined loaf tin. Smooth the top and bake for 40 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean.
7
Allow the loaf to cool in the tin for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
8
While the loaf cools, whisk together the date syrup and Gem Icing Sugar until smooth and pourable.
9
Once the loaf is fully cooled, drizzle the sticky date topping generously over the top. Slice and enjoy!
