Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups Granulated sugar
- 1 cup Vegetable oil
- 4 large Eggs
- 2 cups Pumpkin puree
- 0.6667 cup Water
- 3.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking soda
- 1.5 teaspoons Salt
- 2 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cloves
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground allspice
- 1 cup Chopped nuts (optional)
- 1 cup Raisins (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9x5-inch loaf pans, or line them with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the granulated sugar and vegetable oil, whisking together until smooth and well blended.
Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Then stir in the pumpkin puree and water until evenly combined.
In a separate large bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and allspice.
Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
If desired, gently fold in the chopped nuts and/or raisins 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 60–70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaves comes out clean.
Remove the loaves from the oven and let them cool in the pans for about 10 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Serve slices of pumpkin bread on their own or with a spread of butter for a delicious treat. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
