Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan with cooking spray or butter.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, granulated sugar, brown sugar, sour cream, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and well-combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, spices, and salt to ensure even distribution.
  4. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
  5. Transfer the batter to the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top.
Baking
  1. Bake in the preheated oven for about 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  2. Allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Storage: Wrap tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil and keep it in the refrigerator for up to one week. Freeze for up to three months. Reheat slices in the microwave or toaster oven for best results.
