Ingredients
- 3 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
- 3 cups white sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 ½ teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 cups mashed fresh pumpkin (from boiled or roasted pumpkin)
- 1 cup vegetable oil
- ⅔ cup water
- 4 large eggs
- ½ cup chopped walnuts (Optional)
Directions
-
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour three 7×3-inch loaf pans.
-
Stir flour, sugar, baking soda, salt, nutmeg, and cinnamon together in a large mixing bowl until well blended. Add mashed pumpkin, oil, water, and eggs; beat with an electric mixer until well combined. Fold in walnuts. Divide batter evenly among the prepared pans.
-
Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center of each loaf comes out clean, about 1 hour.
-
Remove from the oven and set pans on a wire rack. Let cool completely before slicing.
Tips
You can use pumpkin puree instead of cooked fresh pumpkin, and raisins instead of walnuts if desired.
