Ingredients:

– 1 15-ounce can of pumpkin puree

– 4 large eggs

– 1 cup vegetable oil

– 2/3 cup water

– 3 cups granulated sugar

– 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

– 2 teaspoons baking soda

– 1 1/2 teaspoons salt

– 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

– 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg

– 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease two 9×5-inch loaf pans.

2. In a large bowl, mix together the pumpkin puree, eggs, vegetable oil, water, and sugar until well combined.

3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and ginger.

4. Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture into the wet ingredient mixture and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix or else your bread may become dense.
