Ingredients

  • 1  can (15 ounces) pumpkin (not pumpkin pie mix)
  • 1 2/3  cups sugar
  • 2/3  cup vegetable oil
  • 2  teaspoons vanilla
  • 4  eggs
  • 3  cups Gold Medal® all-purpose or whole wheat flour
  • 1/2  cup coarsely chopped nuts
  • 1/2  cup raisins, if desired
  • 2  teaspoons baking soda
  • 1  teaspoon salt
  • 1  teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2  teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2  teaspoon ground cloves

Directions

  1. Move oven rack to low position so that tops of pans will be in center of oven. Heat oven to 350ºF. Grease bottoms only of 2 loaf pans, 8 1/2x4 1/2x2 1/2 inches, or 1 loaf pan 9x5x3 inches, with shortening.

  2. Stir together pumpkin, sugar, oil, vanilla and eggs in large bowl. Stir in remaining ingredients. Pour into pans.

  3. Bake 8-inch loaves 50 to 60 minutes, 9-inch loaf 1 hour 10 minutes to 1 hour 20 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool 10 minutes. Loosen sides of loaves from pans; remove from pans and place top side up on wire rack. Cool completely, about 2 hours, before slicing. Wrap tightly and store at room temperature up to 4 days, or refrigerate up to 10 days.

Tips & Notes

  • Success

    Greasing just the bottoms of the pans helps form a gently rounded top. If the sides are greased, edges of the loaf may have ridges.

  • Variation

    Go ahead and leave the raisins out if you don't like them. The bread will still be delicious!
