- ½ cup evaporated cane sugar

- 2 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp salt

- Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.

- In a small bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves.
- Slowly stir dry ingredients into wet ingredients until just combined.

- Bake pumpkin bread for 55-65 minutes, or until a wooden pick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow to cool slightly before removing from the pan.
