Ingredients:

• 1 cup margarine or butter, softened
• 3 cups sugar
• 3 eggs
• 1 tsp. vanilla
• 3 cups sifted flour
• 1 1/2 tsp. salt
• 1 tsp. baking soda
• 1 tsp. baking powder
• 1 tsp. cinnamon
• 1/2 tsp. nutmeg
• 1 tsp. clove powder
• 1 tsp. allspice
• 1 – 1 lb. can of pumpkin (look for “pumpkin,” not “pumpkin pie filling”)

Directions:

1. Cream margarine or butter together with the sugar. Gradually beat in eggs and vanilla.
2. Sift all dry ingredients together. Add the dry ingredients to the mixture by gradually alternative each addition with the pumpkin.
3. Transfer mixture to 3 greased 8×5 pans (I had 9×5 loaf pans so used 2 of those plus 2 mini-loafs). For the larger loafs, bake in an oven at 350 degrees for 40-50 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. For the mini loafs, bake at 325 for 45 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.

Enjoy!
