This is a wonderful pumpkin bread recipe! I'm sharing it since it's the time of year for this sweet treat. I know there are a million versions of this recipe, but this is one comes from my aunt and is our favorite because it's moist and has the perfect blend of spices. You could spread a little cream cheese on your slice, but you honestly don't need anything because it's perfect just plain! I think you'll like it. Our family has been enjoying it for years.
Aunt Kay's Pumpkin Bread
1 cup oil
3/4 cup water
1 can pumpkin
4 eggs
3 cups sugar (try using 2 cups white and 1 cup brown)
Mix all ingredients.
Now mix the following together and add to above:
3 1/2 cups flour
1/2 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. nutmeg
2 tsp. baking soda
1 1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. ground cloves
1 tsp. cinnamon
Lightly spray two large loaf pans with Baker's Joy and bake at 325 degrees for 1 1/2 hours (you can also divide batter into four smaller pans and bake about 40 minutes, or until done).
Tip: For maximum texture and flavor, bake this bread a day before you plan to serve it!
