Preparation

Step 1

In a bowl, combine the first six ingredients. Combine the pumpkin, oil, eggs and water; mix well. Stir into dry ingredients just until combined; fold in the pecans. Spoon into two greased 9 x 5 x 3 inch loaf pans. Bake at 350 degrees for 60-65 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks.

For glaze, combine butter, sugars and cream in a saucepan. Cook until dissolved. Cool for 20 minutes. Stir in confectioner’s sugar and vanilla until smooth. Pour over cooled loaves.
