It's that time of year for all things pumpkin, so I wanted to share my favorite pumpkin bread recipe with you. It's one I got years ago from my old high school buddy Donna. I still make it and I think of her every time I do!
PUMPKIN BREAD (Makes two loaves)
Ingredients:
3/4 cup butter
2 1/2 cups sugar
4 eggs
1 one pound can of pumpkin
3 1/2 cups flour
2 tsp baking soda
1 1/2 tsp salt
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp cloves
2/3 cup chopped nuts
(I often throw in some white chocolate chips, too)
Directions:
Cream butter and sugar. Ads eggs, one at a time, beating thoroughly. Mix in pumpkin. Sift dry ingredients into the pumpkin mixture, adding a little at a time and keep stirring until well blended. Grease and flour 2 loaf pans; pour in batter, dividing evenly between the two pans. Bake at 350 for 1 hour. (Depending on your oven you may need a little more time or possibly a little less.) Test with tooth pick. If it comes out clean you're done. Cool on a wire rack before taking bread from pans.
