Steps

whisk2 min
dry, spices thorough
flour + soda + salt + all four spices — double-checked for even distribution, because this loaf carries more spice than anything else in the quick-bread chapter and a pocket of cloves is a landmine
whisk3 min
wet: purée + oil + sugars + eggs + vanilla
until uniform and glossy — the whole can of purée goes in; recipes calling for a cup leave you a sad half-can, and this ratio was built backwards from the can on purpose
fold2 min
dry into wet, add-ins at the last streak
Fold the dry mixture into the wet mixture with minimal strokes. Add the listed chopped pecans at the last streak of flour and fold just until distributed. The batter should remain thick.
bake65 min
350°F, greased 9x5, tester at the crack
the longest bake of the trio — all that purée moisture has to set — with the foil tent on standby for the last fifteen; the loaf is done when the center crack's deepest point tests clean, and not one minute before, because gummy-centered pumpkin bread is this recipe's entire failure literature
rest15 min
10 in the pan, then racked — and honestly, tomorrow
the quick-bread overnight rule at maximum strength: pumpkin bread on day two is a different, better loaf — the spices bloom into the crumb and the texture settles from cakey to dense-plush; wrapped, it holds most of a week
