Autumn Happenings

Had to copy this lucious-looking recipe:

095 
Ingredients:
1 15oz can of pure pumpkin
3 cups of sugar
1 cup of water
1 cup of vegetable oil
4 eggs
3 1/3 cups of all purpose flour
2 tsp's of baking soda
2 tsp's of cinnamon
1 tsp of salt

1 tsp of baking powder
1/2 tsp of nutmeg
3/4 tsp of ground cloves

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350
Grease AND flour 2 loaf pans
Combine pumpkin, sugar, water oil and eggs and mix well.
In a separate bowl, combine dry ingredients and mix.
Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and beat until smooth.
Divide batter between both loaf pans.
Bake for 60-70 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
Cool for 10-15 minutes before removing from pans.

Tips:
Pumpkin pie spice could easily be substituted for the cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves. Add little or more spice depending on your preference.
Top with cream cheese or a pumpkin spice flavored cream cheese!
