Ingredients:
(A)
2 2/3 cup sugar
1 cup oil
4 eggs
2 cups pumpkin

3 1/3 cups flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon cloves

2/3 cup water

optional: Raisins and/or nuts (1/2 cup of each)

Cream sugar and oil. Add eggs and pumpkin, mixing well. Sift (B) together and add to batter, alternating with water. Stir in raisins and/or nuts, if desired.

Pour into 2 greasedand floured loaf pans. Bakein a preheated 350 degree oven for about 1 hour. Let loaves cool on wire rack for10 minutes before removing from pan and cooling completely.
Note: My mom adds 1 teaspoon of vanillan extract and deletes 1 teaspoon of water to add a nice flavor to the bread. I recommend you do the same.
