Pumpkin Bread
Why I Love This Recipe
I got this recipe from a friend I used to work with last year. It makes a lot, so save one loaf for yourself and share the other one with a friend!
Ingredients You'll Need
3 cups sugar
1 cup cooking oil
4 eggs
3 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
2 tsp. baking soda
1 ½ tsp. salt
1 tsp. ground cinnamon
1 tsp. ground nutmeg
2/3 cup water
1 (15-oz.) canned pumpkin
Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease the bottom and ½-in up sides of two 9x5x3-inch or three 8x4x2-inch loaf pans; set aside. In a large mixing bowl, beat sugar and oil with an electric mixer on medium speed. Add eggs and beat well; set aside.
In a large bowl combine flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Alternately add flour mixture and water to sugar mixture, beating on low speed after each addition just until combined. Beat in pumpkin. Spoon batter into prepared pans.
Bake in a 350 degrees oven for about 1 hour or until a wooden toothpicks inserted near centers comes out clean. Cool in pans on wire racks for 10 minutes. Remove from pans. Cool completely on wire racks. Wrap and store overnight before slicing.
