The BEST Pumpkin Bread Recipe

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Spray a 9" X 5" X 3" loaf pan with baking spray with flour, or spray with cooking spray and lightly flour the pan, tapping out the excess.

Combine the dry ingredients. In a medium size bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, and salt.

Combine the wet ingredients. In a large bowl, whisk the sugar and oil together. Whisk the eggs, one at a time, into the sugar mixture until light and creamy. Add the pumpkin, water, and vanilla extract and whisk until smooth.

Whisk together the batter. Add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients. Whisk the flour into the batter about 28-30 times around the bowl or just until incorporated.

Bake. Pour into the prepared pan and bake for 55-65 minutes or until a cake tester comes out clean and the edges of the bread pulls away from the pan.

Cool before slicing. Cool the cake in the pan for 10 minutes. Run a knife around the edges of the pan then turn the bread out and cool on a cooking rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.
