Pumpkin Spice Bread

3 cups sugar

1 c. oil

4 eggs, lightly beaten

1 can (15 oz.) solid-pack pumpkin

3 ½ cups all-purpose flour

1 tsp. baking soda

1 tsp. salt

1 tsp. ground cinnamon

½ tsp. baking powder

½ tsp. ground cloves

½ tsp. ground allspice

½ cup water

In a large bowl, combine sugar, oil and eggs. Add pumpkin and mix well. Combine the remaining dry ingredients; add to the pumpkin mixture alternately with water, beating well after each addition.

Pour into 2 greased loaf pans. Bake at 350 for 60-65 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean.  Cool in pans 10 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.
