Dry pumpkin bread results from not enough fats or water being added to the batter. In addition, you might now have enough pumpkin puree in your bread.

Baking powder makes air bubbles occur in the batter as it bakes. Too much baking powder makes the bubbles too big, which leads to the loaf of moist pumpkin bread collapsing. It also gives the bread a bitter taste.
