Pumpkin Loaf

Not up to much today--went out early this AM to run a banking errand, thought I'd do a few other things, but I really needed to come home and go to bed. This nasty cold is sitting in my ears and chest, so I'm still not very energetic.

Anyway, the best I can do for today is a pumpkin loaf recipe I've just made, have baking even as I type:

Pumpkin Loaf

1 ¼ cups Brown sugar
½ cup Cooking oil
1 2/3 cups Cooked or canned pumpkin
2 Eggs
2 ½ cups All purpose flour
3 tsp Baking powder
½ tsp each Salt, ginger, & ground cloves
1 ¼ tsp cinnamon

• Beat together 1 cup sugar, oil, pumpkin & eggs.
• In a separate bowl mix together flour, baking powder, salt, ginger, cloves, and 1 tsp cinnamon.
• Combine pumpkin mixture with dry ingredients just enough to moisten all ingredients. Spoon into 2 lightly greased loaf pans.
• Mix remaining ¼ cup brown sugar and ¼ tsp cinnamon. Sprinkle over unbaked loaves.
• Bake in preheated 350 F oven for 1 hour or until toothpick comes out clean.
• Cool slightly and remove from pans.
• Makes 2 (small) loaves.
