Tasty Tuesdays - #8 - Pumpkin Bread

{Recipe}

This was my first success story while using my new Kitchenaid mixer you heard about last week.  Some may say it's a bit premature,  but end of August has me thinking about Fall and I'm down for pretty much anything pumpkin!  Try it - you won't regret it!

 

Ingredients:

 

1 (15oz) can pumpkin puree

4 eggs

1 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

1/3 teaspoon ground ginger

Directions:

Preheat oven to 250 degrees F (175 degrees C).  Grease and flour three 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 minutes in the preheated oven.  Loaves are done when toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
