Tasty Treat - Pumpkin Bread

Recently I have tried a few pumpkin bread recipes and I decided this one was my favorite. It is by no means one of my healthy recipes, but come on, it is a baked good! It makes two loaves, one for you and one to share (in my case to share with my unborn child). : )



INGREDIENTS
1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin puree
4 eggs
3/4 cup vegetable oil
2/3 cup water
3 cups white sugar
3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger

DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and flour two 7x3 inch loaf pans. In a large bowl, mix together pumpkin puree, eggs, oil, water and sugar until well blended. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves and ginger. Stir the dry ingredients into the pumpkin mixture until just blended. Pour into the prepared pans. Bake for about 50 - 60 minutes in the preheated oven. Check with a toothpick.
