Number Of Ingredients 13

1 ½ cups sugar
½ cup vegetable oil
2 large eggs
1 cup canned pumpkin ((not the entire can of pumpkin))
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon baking soda
¾ teaspoon salt
1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
¾ teaspoon cinnamon ((or increase to 1 teaspoon for a "spicier" loaf))
½ teaspoon nutmeg
¼ teaspoon cloves ((or increase to ½ teaspoon for a "spicier" loaf))
¼ teaspoon allspice
¼ teaspoon ginger

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease and flour an 8 x 4-inch loaf pan. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together sugar, oil, and eggs. Add pumpkin and vanilla; whisk to combine. Sprinkle baking soda and salt over top; stir until well blended.
  • Stir in flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, cloves, and ginger; be careful not to over-mix.
