This pumpkin bread isn’t really old, but the recipe has been in my family for many years. And with good reason. It’s delicious!! Serve this pumpkin bread with a light swipe of whipped cream cheese. In our family, it isn’t fall until we have eaten a slice of this bread! 
Old Family Recipe
Pumpkin Bread
3 1/2 cups Flour
2 teaspoon Baking Soda
1 1/2 teaspoon Salt
1 teaspoon Cinnamon
1 teaspoon Nutmeg
3 cups Sugar
1 cup Corn Oil
4 Eggs
2/3 cup Water
2 cup Pumpkin
Measure the flour into a bowl.
Add baking soda,
and salt.
Add cinnamon, nutmeg and sugar.
Whisk everything together.
Form a well in the bowl of ingredients.
Add the eggs,
the corn oil, the water, and the pumpkin.
Mix everything together,
until every ingredient is incorporated.
Spray a loaf pan.
Cook for 1 hour at 350 degrees. The loaf pans that
I use are rather large. If you used the ones in the picture,
on the left, this recipe would make 3. Because I used my large pan,
I only had enough for one other pan. Make sure to check
the bread with a toothpick. The top cooks last, so make
sure it is done before you remove it from the oven.
Cool the bread in the pan for 15 minutes, then take
a knife or spatula around the edge, and let it sit in the
pan until completely cool.
It’s a piece of heaven!
