Courtesy of Taste of Home

Ingredients
- 3 cups sugar
- 1 cup vegetable oil
- 4 eggs, lightly beaten
- 1 can (15 ounces) solid-pack pumpkin
- 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp. baking soda
- 1 tsp. salt
- 1 tsp. ground cinnamon
- 1 tsp. ground nutmeg
- 1/2 tsp. baking powder
- 1/2 tsp. ground cloves
- 1/2 tsp. ground allspice
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 pkg. chocolate chips (I decided to add these for fun)

1. In a large bowl, combine the sugar, oil and eggs. Add pumpkin and mix well. Combine the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, baking powder, cloves and allspice; add to the pumpkin mixture, alternately with water, beating well after each addition. Stir in chocolate chips.
2. Pour into two greased 9x5x3 in. loaf pans. Bake at 350 for 60-65 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks to cool completely.

Enjoy!
