How to Make Pumpkin Pound Cake with Buttermilk Glaze | MyRecipes

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Grease and flour a 9x5 inch loaf pan.

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.

In a large bowl, cream the softened butter and sugar together until light and fluffy.

Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.

Stir in the pumpkin puree and vanilla extract until well combined.

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.

If using, fold in the chopped walnuts.

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.

Bake for 60-70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
