Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 cups Granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons Baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 1 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoons Ground nutmeg
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground cloves
• 1 cup Canned pumpkin puree
• 0.5 cups Vegetable oil
• 2 large Eggs
• 0.5 cups Water
• 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or a similar-sized baking dish.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves. Mix well to ensure that the dry ingredients are evenly distributed.

Step 3

In a separate medium-sized bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, vegetable oil, eggs, water, and vanilla extract until smooth and well blended.

Step 4

Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients while stirring. Mix gently until the batter is smooth and no large lumps remain, but avoid overmixing.

Step 5

Carefully pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula if needed.

Step 6

Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 7

Remove the bread cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 8

Slice and serve plain, or dust with powdered sugar or spread with a dollop of cream cheese frosting for an extra treat.
