Steaming isn't only for vegetables or rice. Steam heat can transform a cake or quick bread batter into a moist, mouth-watering treat.
Ingredients
- Wet ingredients
- 1-1/2 cups canned pumpkin (or fresh)
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 1/4 cup lowfat 2 percent milk
- 1 egg, lightly beaten
- Dry ingredients
- In a large bowl, combine the following:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup whole wheat flour
- 1/4 cup light packed brown sugar
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon clove
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Directions
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients.
- In a large bowl, combine dry ingredients.
- Spray a 9 x 5-inch loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray.
- Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until just moist. The batter will be thick.
- Pour into the prepared pan and cover tightly with aluminum foil to prevent the water from entering the loaf pan. Set on a rack in a large, deep pot or kettle. Add the water to come halfway up the sides of the pan.
- Bring the water to a gentle boil on medium-high heat, cover the pot, lower heat to medium and steam for about 60 minutes.
- Bread is done when a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
