Tasty Tuesday - Pumpkin Spice Bread

With the chill in the air and pumpkins everywhere, recipes with pumpkin are what fall is all about!  This recipe for yummy pumpkin spice bread comes from one of my favorite sites for recipes, activities and craft ideas for the family...Family Fun.

Ingredients

• 2 cups canned pumpkin
• 3 cups sugar
• 1 cup water
• 1 cup vegetable oil
• 4 eggs
• 3 1/3 cups all-purpose flour

• 2 tsp. baking soda
• 2 tsp. cinnamon
• 1 tsp. salt
• 1 tsp. baking powder
• 1/2 tsp. nutmeg
• 3/4 tsp. ground cloves

Instructions

1. Heat the oven to 350 degrees. In a large mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin, sugar, water, vegetable oil and eggs. Beat until well mixed.
2. Measure the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, salt, baking powder, nutmeg and ground cloves into separate bowl, then stir until combined (a great job for kids). Slowly add the dry ingredients to the pumpkin mixture, beating until smooth.
3. Grease two 9- by 5-inch loaf pans and dust them with flour. Evenly divide the batter between the two pans. Bake for 60 to 70 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 to 15 minutes. Then remove from pans by inverting them onto a rack and tapping the bottoms. Slice and serve plain, buttered or with cream cheese.
