1 Preheat the oven to 350ºF. In a large bowl, whisk together the pumpkin purée, eggs, oil, molasses, and sugar.
2 In a separate bowl, stir together the flour, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, salt, and baking powder.
3 Pour the dry ingredients into the bowl of wet ingredients, and stir them together just until combined. It's okay if there are a few small lumps. Avoid over stirring.
4 Coat the inside of a loaf pan with butter. Pour the batter into the loaf pan and spread it out smooth.
5 Bake the pumpkin bread for about one hour, or until the internal temperature reaches 200ºF, or a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean (a few crumbs are okay, just no raw batter stuck to the toothpick).
6 Transfer the bread to a wire rack to cool, then slice and serve.
