Ingredients

• 1-1/2 cups sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 3/4 teaspoon salt
• 2 large eggs

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

In a large bowl combine the sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, eggs, cloves, nutmeg, flour, oil, water, pumpkin, and pecans, mixing well after each addition. Pour the batter into a greased and floured 9 x 5-inch loaf pan.

Bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow to cool on a wire rack for at least 30 minutes before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature.
