Nana never forgets to scoop a bunch of the batter onto her finger to taste test it!
Do it too!!!
Cooking Instructions
- Mix baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
- Add this mix to a bowl with 3,5 cups of flour and mix it gently with a spoon so that you do not mess up. Leave this mix for a while until needed. Phase I completed, yeh!!!
- In a different small bowl mix all the spices together including nutmeg, allspice, cinnamon, and ground cloves.
- Add the mixed spices to a bowl with 3 cups of sugar. Leave this mix for a while until needed. Phase II completed, yeh!!!
- Now take a really big Super Bowl because you’ll mix all ingredients in it. In this bowl mix 4 eggs with your mixer and when it is done add 1 cup of oil, mix it and then add 1 can of pumpkin and mix it again.
- Now to the Super Bowl add the mix from Phase II (sugar+spices). Mix the ingredients with your mixer.
- After that add to the Super Bowl the mix from Phase I (which is flour and other stuff). Tip: first add to the Super Bowl half of the flour mix and digest it by the mixer. Add 2/3 cup of water as the flour thickens and mix well. Then add the second half and make a nicely mixed substance.
- You can add a cup of nuts if you wish – pecans, walnuts etc. I personally like it with nuts. This complete Phase III.
- This will make 2 large loaf pans. Bake at 350 for an hour and then be sure to test it since ovens do vary. In some cases I baked it for 80 minutes. You can also make 2 loaf pans and one small. If you make it, small loaf bakes for 45 minutes. You may also make small muffins which bake for 10 minutes to bake.

Cooking Tips
- Follow the recipe precisely, do not deviate. If you want the pumpkin bread to be less oily you may put less than a cup of oil.
- Mix in order – mix each addition well before adding the next.
- When pouring the mix into baking pans leave some space so that the bread may rise us when baking.
- Spread some PAM (or butter) on the surface of the the baking pan to avoid the mix sticking to the pan.
- It is best served when cooled down to room temperature.
- You may keep Nana’s pumpkin bread in the freezer for a year (if you need of course) and it will be totally fine. It was already tested. So it works.
