I am resurrecting and updating an old recipe from this site because fall is the perfect time for anything pumpkin-flavored. This a nice and comforting quick bread that can be served for breakfast or a snack.
Makes 2 loaves
3 cups sugar
1 cup vegetable or canola oil
4 eggs, lightly beaten
1 (16-oz) can pumpkin puree
1/2 - 1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 cup water
3 1/2 cups flour
2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
1 rounded tsp cinnamon
1 rounded tsp nutmeg
1/2 rounded tsp ground cloves
1/2 rounded tsp allspice
In a large bowl, combine the sugar, oil, and eggs. Beat well. Add the pumpkin puree and vanilla extract and beat until well combined. In another bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves and allspice. Stir until combined. Add the flour mixture to the pumpkin mixture alternately with the water. Mix well and pour into two greased 9 x 5 x 3" loaf pans. Bake 350 degrees for 60 - 70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool the bread in the pans for 10 minutes, and remove to completely cool on a wire rack. To store, wrap in plastic wrap.
