Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a loaf pan by greasing and lightly flouring it.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Set aside.
  3. Cream together softened butter and sugar in a large bowl until light and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes.
  4. Add eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each, then stir in vanilla extract.
  5. Mix in pumpkin puree until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
  6. Gently fold in dry ingredients into the pumpkin batter until just incorporated.
  7. Pour in warmed milk and mix until the batter is smooth.
  8. Pour batter into the prepared pan, smooth the top, and bake for 45-50 minutes for a cake pan or 50-55 minutes for a loaf pan.
  9. Allow the pumpkin bread to cool in the pan for 15 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
