Pumpkin Bread

When I was in college, I picked up a recipe at the checkout at a Hallmark store and over the years we have made some changes and here lately with an allergy child, even more changes...but it is a family favorite (not just our little family, but cousins, grandparents, aunts, uncles, friends and so on!)
Below is our little recipe for this yummy treat, and soon I will post our new creation with it....Pumpkin bread Pudding, amazing!


3 1/2 cups flour (we use 2 c wheat, and 1 1/2 all purpose)
2 tsp baking soda
1 1/2 tsp salt
2-3 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp nutmeg
1 tsp cloves
2 1/2 cups sugar
1 cup veg oil or melted butter
4 eggs (we use egg replacer for the eggs)
2/3 cup water
1 can pumpkin (I think it is 15+ ounces)

Mix dry ingredients and wet separately and combine.  Pour into 2 greased bread pans.  Bake at 350 for 1 hour 15 minutes until done in middle.  (insert a toothpick or cake tester and will come out clean if done!)  Cool and serve!
