PUMPKIN BREAD

This bread is so good anytime of the year.  It also makes a great gift for friends and family.
6 eggs
3 cups pumpkin (I use a 28 oz. can) or fresh pumpkin
1 1/2 cups cooking oil (I use Canola)
4 cups white sugar
4 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 1/2 teaspoons ground nutmeg
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cloves
 
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray 3 loaf pans with cooking spray. Mix pumpkin, oil, sugar and eggs. Combine rest of ingredients and stir into pumpkin mixture until well blended. Divide
batter evenly between the 3 pans. Bake 45 minutes to 1 hour. Top of loaf should spring back when pressed. Can add nuts, raisins or mini chocolate chips.
This is the best pumpkin bread you will ever make. It is very moist.
Sometimes, I make several different sizes of loaves to give away.   Enjoy!
