Ingredients
Scale
- 3 cups granulated sugar
- 1 cup vegetable oil
- 4 large eggs, room temperature
- ⅔ cup water
- 1 (15 oz) can pumpkin puree
- 2 teaspoons ground ginger
- 1 teaspoon ground allspice
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon ground cloves
- 3 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 ½ teaspoons salt
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
Instructions
- Prepare Your Baking Setup: Position the rack in the middle of the oven and preheat to 375°F. Thoroughly grease two 9x5 inch loaf pans, optionally lining with parchment paper for easier removal.
- Create the Wet Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine the sugar, vegetable oil, and eggs. Beat with an electric mixer until the mixture becomes smooth and well-incorporated. Gradually add the water while continuing to beat until achieving a well-blended consistency.
- Add Flavoring Components: Gently fold in the pumpkin puree, then sprinkle in the ground ginger, allspice, cinnamon, and cloves. Mix until the spices are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate medium bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda, salt, and baking powder. This ensures even distribution of leavening agents and removes any lumps.
- Complete the Batter: Gradually add the dry ingredients to your pumpkin mixture, folding gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing to maintain the bread's tender texture.
- Bake to Perfection: Divide the batter evenly between your prepared loaf pans. Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
