Ingredients

Wet Ingredients

  • 15 ounces pumpkin puree 1 can
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup vegetable oil
  • cup water
  • 2 cups sugar

Dry Ingredients

  • cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • teaspoons salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • ½ teaspoon ground cloves
  • ½ teaspoon ground ginger

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F and grease and dust with flour 2 9x5-inch loaf pans.
  • In the bowl of your mixer add all the wet ingredients. Mix until smooth.
  • In another large bowl combine all the dry ingredients together.
  • Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until just blended.
  • Pour the pumpkin batter equally into the prepared pans.
  • Transfer the pans to the oven and bake for 50 minutes to one hour or until an inserted toothpick in the center of the loaf comes out clean.

Notes

  1. Recipe yields 2 loaves.
  2. Grease and dust the pans well. Be sure to grease the pans well and dust them with flour to keep the bread from sticking. You can also line the bottoms of the pans with parchment paper as an extra precaution if you like.
  3. Don’t overmix the batter. It’s crucial that you gently fold the flour mixture into the wet ingredients. Overmixing will almost always result in dense bread.
  4. Don’t open the door. Do not open the oven door until at least 45 minutes of baking time have passed. If you do you risk your bread not rising properly or even worse sinking in the middle.
  5. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container for about 2 to 3 days at room temperature or for about a week in the fridge. To reheat, you can put it in the microwave for about 15 seconds or in the toaster oven for about 2 to 3 minutes.
