My mom was using this recipe over 55 years ago, & the only thing I've changed from her original set of ingredients is the addition of dried cranberries! I've eaten a lot of loaves of this bread, both with & without the crans!
Ingredients:
3 cups granulated sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground cloves
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
4 eggs
1 cup vegetable oil
1 cup water
1 cup pumpkin (not pie mix)
4 cups all-purpose flour
2 cups dried cranberries (optional)
Directions:
1. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
2. Stir together the sugar, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, salt, baking powder, baking soda, eggs, oil, water & pumpkin, mixing well.
3. Add the flour, two cups at a time, mixing well.
4. If using cranberries, add them, & mix well.
5. Pour the batter into two 9 loaf pans, dividing evenly.
6. Put in the oven, & bake for 1 hour & 45 minutes, or until a toothpick in the center tests clean.
7. Cool on a wire rack 10 minutes before removing loaves from the pans.
8. Cool completely before storing in an airtight container.
