Quick & Easy Pumpkin Bread (almost like cake!)

This pumpkin bread is so quick & easy, you literally cannot mess it up.  It turns out so moist and delicious, it's almost pumpkin cake!  Sooo yummy!!!!!




Here's what you'll need:
  • 4 Eggs 
  • 2 Cups of Sugar 
  • 1 Cup of Oil
  • 2 Cups of Flour 
  • 1 Tsp of Baking Powder 
  • 1/2 Tsp of Baking Soda 
  • 1 Tsp of Cinnamon 
  • 1 Tsp of Salt 
  • 2 Cups of Pumpkin 
  • As many nuts, and any variety, that you desire

Preheat oven, 350 degrees.
 

Combine Eggs, Oil and Sugar. Slowly add remaining ingredients and mix until smooth.  Butter and flour 3 loaf pans or one bundt pan.  Bake for 45-60 minutes.  I usually bake them a little longer than 60 minutes, but that will depend on your oven and elevation.  Insert toothpick in the center of the loaf, if it comes out clean, they are done!
  

Optional :
Cream Cheese Icing
1/2 Box Powdered Sugar, sifted
1/4 to 1/2 Cups of Finely Chopped Pecans or any nut

Beat all ingredients together for 7 minutes.  Frost cooled cake. 


Enjoy it!
