Being that we've been enjoying the "fall weather" with the 85 degree temperatures and breezy mornings, I thought I'd make a fall treat.
Ingredients:
- 1 15 ounce can pumpkin puree
- 4 eggs
- 1 cup vegetable oil
- 2/3 cup water
- 3 cups white sugar
- 3 1/2 cup flour
- 2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1/4 teaspoon ginger
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Grease and flour three 7x3 loaf pans
- Mix pumpkin, eggs, oil, water and sugar
- Sift in flour, baking soda, salt, and spices
- Bake for 50 minutes
I used a few various size pans, since I didn't have three 7x3 pans. I doubled the recipe and ended up with five loaves: 3 9x5 loaves and 2 8x4 loaves.
I also used 3 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice instead of the various spices since I was out of nutmeg. I also tossed in a few pecans. Next time I'll try walnuts instead and also toss in some raisins or cranberries. A teaspoon or two of vanilla wouldn't hurt either.
A nice fall treat. Next fall treat is Pumpkin Whoopie Pies!

Thanks so much for posting this recipe....Kevin gave Amaya and I a slice yesterday (he barely wanted to share!) and it is amazing. My first thought was, I wonder what the recipe is!? So thanks...I think I will try it out on a classroom of preschoolers next week for "snack day"...they will go easy on me if I screw it up!
Back off, Georgia! This one is mine for snack day (tomorrow).
I'm adding walnuts and craisins. I'll let you know how it turns out.
