Pumpkin_07, Lynn Hadden

Ingredients

• 3 Cup All-Purpose Flour	• &#189 tsp Baking Soda
• 3 Cup Granulated Sugar	• &#189 tsp Salt, Iodized Table Salt
• 1 tsp Cinnamon, ground	• 1 Cup Vegetable Oil, Wesson Brand
• 1 tsp Cloves, ground	• 3 Eggs, Jumbo or Large in size
• 1 tsp Allspice, ground	• 1 can 1 14-oz. can of Pure 100% Pumpkin, Libby Brand (not pie mix)
• 1 tsp Nutmeg, ground	• 1 Cup Pecans, chopped
• 1 tsp Baking Powder
• 1 tsp Vanilla, I use pure vanilla from Costa Rica

Instructions

Mix dry ingredients in large bowl:
flour, sugar, spices, salt and sodas.
I mix with large, silicone fork until well-mixed.

Add wet ingredients:
vanilla, eggs, canned pure pumpkin, oil.
Mix well with large spoon or fork until well incorporated and until no flour mixture is visible.

I spray loaf pans with Pam spray with flour, Pillsbury with Flour or Baker's Joy with Flour. Spray well and evenly so bread will come out nicely.

If using mini-loaf pans, divide dough between 5 to 6 mini-loaf pans. I use a 6, mini-loaf pan made of silicone from Kitchen Aid Brand.
Stir in chopped pecans, if desired.

Pre-heat egg to 325 degrees (or convection oven to 350 degrees).

I use a 6, mini-loaf pan made of silicone from Kitchen Aid Brand. I place silicone baker onto a cooling rack to use as a &#034rack&#034 for silicone baker.

Use place setter for indirect heat- convection oven style heat.

Bake loaves in silicone or aluminum/ metal loaf pans for approximately 45-60 minutes. Bake until loaves are done on top with no liquid showing.

Bread is done and ready when it moves / separates away from sides of pan. Allow to cool before removing from pan / loaf pan, and also allow to cool prior to slicing to avoid crumbly slices.

Notes

Many of my friends love it and serve it as a toasted dessert with caramel sauce, ice cream, whipped cream, etc.
You could add raisins also if you'd like to. It's great warm or cool with honey, butter, and/or cream cheese. It's great to give as gifts during autumn season up to November and December holidays. Some people even bake it and gift it in 1-pound, clean coffee cans.
