Pumpkin Bread

I made pumpkin bread the other day and the kids gobbled it up so Jack helped me make more yesterday. Here's a great recipe that the kids seemed to love:

3 cups sugar
1 cup vegetable oil
4 eggs lightly bean
16 ounces canned unsweetened pumpkin
3 1/2 cups flour
2 teaspoons salt
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon nutmeg
1 teaspoon allspice
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon cloves
2/3 cup water

Makes two loaves. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter and flour 2 9 by 5 loaf pans. Stir together sugar and oil. Stir in eggs and pumpkin. Combine dry ingredients in separate bowl. Blend dry ingredients and water into wet mixture, alternating. Divide batter between two loaf pans. Bake for 40 minutes (or a little longer depending on your oven) or until cake tester comes out clean. Let stand 10 minutes. Remove from pans and cool.
