Method

  1. 1

    Line a 23 × 13 cm / 9 × 5-inch loaf tin. Set a conventional oven to 177°C / 350°F.

  2. 2

    Combine flour, soda, spices and salt. Separately whisk eggs, both sugars, pumpkin, oil and juice.

  3. 3

    Fold wet and dry mixtures together without beating; stir through the chocolate chips.

  4. 4

    Transfer to the tin. Bake for approximately 60–65 minutes, covering loosely with foil if the top colours quickly.

  5. 5

    Check that a skewer shows moist crumbs without raw batter. Let the loaf cool before removing and cutting.
