This is another recipe I got from my Home-Ec class in high school (great class!). I make this every year and it is such a hit, I give it for gifts. Ingredients:
2 2/3 cups sugar |
2/3 cup shortening |
4 eggs |
1 (16 ounce) can pumpkin |
2/3 cup water |
3 1/3 cups flour |
2 teaspoons baking soda |
1 1/2 teaspoons salt |
1/2 teaspoon baking powder |
1 teaspoon cinnamon |
1 teaspoon ground cloves |
Directions:
1. You will also need: 2 bread pans about 9-inch x 5-inch x 3-inch (I use the disposable ones to make cleanup easy).
2. In a large mixing bowl, mix sugar and shortening until fluffy.
3. Stir in eggs, pumpkin, and water.
4. Blend in flour, baking soda, salt, baking powder, cinnamon, and cloves.
5. Pour evenly into pans and bake about 70 minutes.
6. Plunge a toothpick or knife into the center of one of the loaves at this point to make sure it comes out clean.
7. Serve warm with butter or cream cheese.
