Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9x5-inch loaf pans or coat them with a non-stick baking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the granulated sugar and canola oil. Mix until smooth and well combined.
Add the eggs one at a time to the sugar and oil mixture, beating well after each egg.
Stir in the pumpkin purée and water until fully blended.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, ground cloves, and baking powder.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Do not overmix.
If desired, fold in 1 cup of chopped nuts for added texture and flavor.
Divide the batter evenly between the prepared loaf pans, smoothing the tops with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 50 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaves comes out clean.
Remove the pans from the oven and let the bread cool in the pans for 10 minutes. Then transfer the loaves to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
