Ingredients you’ll need:

- cinnamon
- pumpkin spice
- butter
- olive oil
- eggs
- sugar
- brown sugar
- sourdough discard
- canned pumpkin puree
- chocolate chips
- buttermilk, or whole milk
To store your loaf cake and keep it fresh:
- Room Temperature: If you plan to eat it within 2-3 days, wrap the loaf tightly in plastic wrap or foil and keep it at room temperature. A cake dome or airtight container can also help retain moisture.
- Refrigeration: If you need to keep it longer (up to a week), store it in the fridge. Just make sure it’s wrapped well to prevent it from drying out.
- Freezing: For longer storage, slice the cake and wrap individual pieces in plastic wrap, then place them in a freezer bag. This way, you can enjoy a slice whenever you like, and it should last up to 3 months in the freezer.
Make sure to let it cool completely before storing to avoid sogginess!

Hello! Just FYI your ingredients call for yogurt and vanilla extract but the instructions do not say when to use it! I followed the instructions and and did not incorporate it and only noticed at the very end when I went through the ingredient list to make sure I got everything! It still turned out delicious without those two though, just an FYI! 😊
oh my goodness!! THANK YOU KELLIE!!
Me and my toddler son just baked this together (we followed the youtube video) and it made me happy using discard instead of tossing!! We enjoyed! Thank you. Keep being the light of Jesus in your videos ❤️
I love that so much!! Thank you, Jameela!!
Can’t you taste the olive oil in the cake? :$
If you use an olive oil that uses a blend of olives, it should be less as potent! I personally love the richness the olive oil adds, but you can always half it with butter!
I’m sitting here, reading my book under a thousand blankets, listening to the rain, drinking tea, and eating this loaf cake. My dream come true. It is a super easy, super delicious, SUPER moist cake. I can literally hear it squishing when I press it. 11/10!!!
