# Steps to Cook:

01 - Preheat the oven to 175°C. Grease and line a 23 x 13 cm loaf pan with parchment paper.
02 - In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and ginger until evenly combined.
03 - In another bowl, whisk pumpkin puree, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth and homogenous.
04 - Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Gently stir with a spatula until just combined; do not overmix.
05 - Fold in dried cranberries and chopped pecans until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
06 - Scrape the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
07 - Bake in the centre of the oven for 60 to 70 minutes until a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
08 - Let the bread cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then lift it out onto a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

# Extra Suggestions:

01 - For best results, press the pumpkin puree firmly into the measuring cup for accurate measurement.
02 - To achieve a tender crumb, avoid overmixing the batter once dry and wet ingredients are combined.
03 - The bread keeps well in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or can be frozen for up to 2 months.
