Instructions
- 1
Preheat the oven to 180°C. Grease two 8-inch round cake pans and line the bottoms with parchment paper.
Tip: Use parchment paper to prevent the bread from sticking to the pans.
- 2
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together flour, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Set aside.
Tip: Make sure to whisk the dry ingredients well to avoid lumps.
- 3
In a large bowl, combine pumpkin puree, caramel sauce, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Mix well until the sugars are dissolved.
Tip: Use an electric mixer to cream the sugars and pumpkin puree until smooth.
- 4
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then, add the milk and melted butter, mixing until well combined.
Tip: Make sure to scrape down the sides of the bowl to avoid missing any egg or butter.
- 5
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
Tip: Use a rubber spatula to scrape the sides of the bowl and avoid overmixing.
- 6
Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans. Smooth the tops with a spatula.
Tip: Use a spatula to create a smooth surface for even baking.
- 7
Bake for 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let the bread cool in the pans for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Tip: Use a wire rack to cool the bread, as it will help prevent it from becoming soggy.

Once the bread is completely cool, you can frost it with caramel glaze or dust it with powdered sugar, if desired.
Tip: Get creative with your topping to enhance the overall flavor and texture of the bread.
