Ingredients
- 1¾ cups (219g) all-purpose flour
- ¼ teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon nutmeg
- ¼ teaspoon ginger
- ¼ teaspoon ground cloves
- 1½ cups (300g) granulated sugar
- ½ cup (109g) vegetable oil
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon molasses
- 1 can (15 ounces) pumpkin puree
- ⅓ cup orange juice

Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray a 9x5-inch loaf pan with cooking spray or line with parchment paper.
-
In a medium bowl, add flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves. Combine with a whisk and set aside.
-
In a large bowl, combine the sugar, oil, eggs, vanilla, molasses, pumpkin puree, and orange juice with a hand mixer on medium-low.
-
Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Mix on low to medium-low just until the ingredients are combined.
-
Remove half of the batter to a medium bowl. Add cocoa powder and fold to combine.
-
To the loaf pan add alternating scoops of pumpkin batter and chocolate pumpkin batter. Continue until all of both batters are in the pan.
-
Use a skewer or knife to gently swirl the batters together in an s-shaped pattern.
-
Bake for 80 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out with crumbs, but no wet batter. Cool and serve.
