So over Christmas break, I drove up to LA for the day to go see Papa (my Grandpa). Along with me, I brought some treats. In the treat tub, there were cookies, candies, and of course bread. I had made pumpkin bread and apple cake. The pumpkin bread was made from a box. It came out good but I felt like it was missing something. Anyhow. Papa ate up the pumpkin bread saying that it was one of his favorite things to eat. So I told him that I'd make some soon and send it to him with some banana bread. After almost two months, I'm finally doing it.
I got this recipe off of http://www.allrecipes.com/ and changed the recipe a little bit because I didn't have one of the ingredients and wasn't going to the store again. I absolutely loved it. I think I've had almost a loaf to myself.
INGREDIENTS
1 15 oz. can (or 2 cups) of easy pumpkin pie mix (recipe called for pumpkin puree)
4 eggs
1 cup vegetable oil (I used canola....it's all I had)
2/3 cup water
3 cups white sugar
3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
