This is a great old Maine recipe, moist and spicy. The bread actually tastes even better the day after it is baked. Great for holiday gift giving!
INGREDIENTS:
2 cups sugar
1 cup canola oil
4 eggs
16 oz. canned pumpkin (not pie filling)
3/4 cup water
3 cups flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1-2 teaspoons cinnamon (I just used 1 teaspoon)
1 teaspoon pumpkin spice (If you don’t have pumpkin spice use 1/4 teaspoon each of cloves, nutmeg, and allspice)
DIRECTIONS:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease 2 standard loaf pans with non-stick spray.
In a bowl, mix together flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon and pumpkin spice. Set aside.
Using a stand or hand mixer, beat sugar and oil together. Add eggs, one at a time, mixing after each addition. Add the pumpkin and the water and mix until well blended. Add the flour mixture and mix until blended. Pour batter into prepared pans.
Bake at 350 degrees for 50-60 minutes. Loaves are done when inserted toothpick comes out clean. I used 8 mini pans and it only took 20 minutes to bake. So if you use smaller pans adjust time accordingly.
