# Ingredients You'll Need:

→ Dry Mix

01 - 220 g plain flour
02 - 2 g salt
03 - 2 g baking powder
04 - 5 g baking soda
05 - 0.5 g ground cloves
06 - 0.5 g ground ginger
07 - 2 g cinnamon powder
08 - 1 g nutmeg powder

→ Wet Mix

09 - 240 g pumpkin puree in a can
10 - 2 large eggs
11 - 200 g packed brown sugar
12 - 120 ml vegetable oil
13 - 5 ml vanilla flavor

→ Topping

14 - 30 ml heavy cream
15 - 1 ml vanilla extract
16 - 90 g butterscotch chips

# Detailed Preparation Steps:

01 - Turn the oven on to 175°C. Grease a 23x13 cm loaf pan and sprinkle a bit of flour over it.
02 - Take a medium bowl and stir together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and spices until it’s well combined.
03 - In a big bowl, mix pumpkin puree, eggs, brown sugar, oil, and vanilla until smooth with no lumps.
04 - Slowly add your dry mix into the wet one, folding gently until just combined so it stays light.
05 - Pour the mixture into the prepared pan. Smooth the top and bake for 55 to 65 minutes. Check doneness by poking with a toothpick—it should come out clean.
06 - Leave the loaf in the pan for 10 minutes to cool, then move it onto a wire rack to chill completely.
07 - Gently melt butterscotch chips with cream over boiling water until smooth. Take off the heat and stir in vanilla.
08 - Pour the warm butterscotch drizzle over the cooled loaf evenly before cutting it up.

# Helpful Tips:

01 - Don’t mix too much or the loaf gets heavy.
02 - Adding more or less cream changes how thick the glaze feels.
03 - For a stronger butterscotch smell, try adding butterscotch extract in the batter.
