Ingredients

• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 2.5 cups granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 teaspoons salt
• 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg

• 1 cup vegetable oil
• 4 large eggs
• 0.5 cups water
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 cup chopped nuts (optional)
• 1 cup raisins or chocolate chips (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease two 9x5-inch loaf pans, or line them with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves until well combined.

Step 3

In another bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, vegetable oil, eggs, water, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Step 4

Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 5

If using nuts, raisins, or chocolate chips, gently fold them into the batter at this stage.

Step 6

Divide the batter evenly between the prepared loaf pans, smoothing the tops with a spatula.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 55-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 8

Remove the pans from the oven and allow the bread to cool in the pans for 10 minutes.

Step 9

Carefully transfer the loaves to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.

Step 10

Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for up to a week.
