Ingredients:

– 3 cups all-purpose flour
– 2 teaspoons baking soda
– 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
– 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
– 1 teaspoon ground cloves
– 1 teaspoon ground allspice
– 1 teaspoon salt
– 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
– 3 cups granulated white sugar
– 4 large eggs
– 1 cup vegetable or canola oil or substitute with 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
– 2 cups pure, unsweetened pumpkin puree
– 2/3 cup water

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat to 350F 175C. Grease and flour two 9×5-inch loaf pans. For a taller loaf, you can use 8×5 pans.
2. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, allspice, baking powder, and salt.
3. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the sugar, eggs, and oil or applesauce until smooth.
4. Combine Mixtures: Gradually stir the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined. Add in the pumpkin puree and water, stirring until the batter is smooth.
5. Pour and Bake: Divide the batter evenly between the prepared loaf pans. Bake for 1 hour, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. If needed, bake for an additional 10-15 minutes.
6. Cool and Enjoy: Let the bread cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Enjoy your delicious, moist pumpkin bread!
