To make this pumpkin bread, begin by preheating your oven to 350 degrees.
Melt your butter (I melted mine in my microwave) and set it aside to cool.
Next, in a large mixing bowl combine your dry ingredients (flour, baking soda, salt, ground cardamom, and sugar). Stir well with a large spoon.
Add in the wet ingredients (pumpkin, eggs, vanilla, and melted butter that has been cooled). Mix well with a hand mixer or stand mixer until everything is well combined.
Pour into a greased loaf pan. Bake for 50 to 60 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean from the middle.
Notes
If you have more than one cup of pumpkin puree to use then you can easily double this recipe. Use the recipe card below and under servings change it from 1 loaf to 2 loaves.
Ovens can vary, I recommend checking your pumpkin bread at 50 minutes but it may need as long as 60 or even 65 minutes. You will know it's done when a toothpick comes out clean from the middle.
