Makes 3 loaves (9 inch) or several small loaves
Combine:
4 1/2 cups flour
2 t. baking soda
1 t. salt
1 T. pumpkin pie spice (or 1 1/2 t. cinnamon, 1/2 t. nutmeg, 1/2 t. cloves, and 1/2 t. ginger)
In a large bowl, beat until well mixed:
4 eggs
4 cups sugar
1 cup oil
1 can (15 oz) pumpkin
Add
flour mixture to wet mixture and stir just until moistened. Do not over
mix! Grease or spray loaf pans. Pour batter evenly into pans. Bake at
350º (or 325º if using dark pans) for about 1 hour. It is done when a
sharp knife inserted comes out clean. Check all pans before removing.
Rearrange pans once during baking to make sure they are heated evenly.
Let cool 10 minutes before removing from pan. Wrap in foil and store in
fridge. Best eaten next day.
