This pumpkin spice bread recipe is at least 40 years old. It makes a very moist bread. It's been described as tasting like pumpkin pie without the crust. —Delora Lucas, Belle, West Virginia

Ingredients

3 cups sugar
1 cup vegetable oil
4 eggs, lightly beaten
1 can (15 ounces) solid-pack pumpkin
3-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
1/2 cup water

Directions

Preheat oven to 350°. In a large bowl, combine sugar, oil and eggs; add pumpkin and mix well. In second bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, baking powder, cloves and allspice; add to the pumpkin mixture alternately with water, beating well after each addition.

Pour into two greased 9x5-in. loaf pans. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 60-65 minutes. Cool in pans 10 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.
