LOCATION

Directions

  • 1 Move oven rack to low position so that tops of pans will be in center of oven. Heat oven to 350ºF. Grease bottoms only of 2 loaf pans, 8 1/2x4 1/2x2 1/2 inches, or 1 loaf pan 9x5x3 inches, with shortening.
  • 2 Stir together pumpkin, sugar, oil, vanilla and eggs in large bowl. Stir in remaining ingredients. Pour into pans.
  • 3 Bake 8-inch loaves 50 to 60 minutes, 9-inch loaf 1 hour 10 minutes to 1 hour 20 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool 10 minutes. Loosen sides of loaves from pans; remove from pans and place top side up on wire rack. Cool completely, about 2 hours, before slicing. Wrap tightly and store at room temperature up to 4 days, or refrigerate up to 10 days.

EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

Greasing just the bottoms of the pans helps form a gently rounded top. If the sides are greased, edges of the loaf may have ridges.

Go ahead and leave the raisins out if you don't like them. The bread will still be delicious!

Fabulous recipe. I did make a few changes, however. It looked to me like there was too much sugar for my tastebuds, so I reduced it (using brown sugar) to a cup and a half. I also altered the spices and included nutmeg, ginger and cardamom. I whipped up a spread made of cream cheese mixed with honey and spices to spread like butter. It was a big hit, and not too sweet.

I've been making this bread for two years and it always comes out moist and delicious. But while you're eating it sometimes there's a slight crunch. It's not egg shells so I don't know what is going on.

This is a great recioe!! I am in the mood for Fall and this baking made my house smell like it. I also like to serve this at holiday parties. I slice it and make cream cheese frosting sandwiches. Great finger food if cut into small shapes. Yumm!!
