Ingredients needed for Pumpkin Bread:

[ad#336x280-r]2 cups canned pumpkin
1 cup vegetable oil
3 cups sugar
1 cup water
4 eggs

3 1/3 cups all purpose flour
2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder

1 tsp salt
2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp nutmeg
3/4 tsp ground cloves

Preparation Instructions:

Preheat over to 350 degrees.

In a large bowl, combine the pumpkin, vegetable oil, sugar, eggs and water and beat until the ingredients are thoroughly mixed.

Combine all of the other ingredients into a separate bowl and mix well. Add the dry mixture into the pumpkin mix a little at a time, mixing well. When all the mixtures are combined, beat the mix until it has a smooth consistency.

Grease 2, 9×5 loaf pans and lightly dust them with flour. Divide the mixture and pour it into the pans. Bake for about an hour, or until a toothpick can be inserted into the thickest area and comes out clean.

Pumpkin bread is delicious plain, but you can top it with butter or cream cheese for a extra treat!
