Ingredients

• 3 cups All-purpose flour
• 2.5 cups Granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons Baking soda
• 1.5 teaspoons Salt
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground cloves
• 0.5 cups Unsalted butter, melted and cooled
• 0.5 cups Vegetable oil
• 4 large Eggs
• 2 cups Pureed pumpkin (canned or homemade)
• 0.5 cups Water
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease two 9x5-inch loaf pans or line them with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ground cloves. Set aside.

Step 3

In another large bowl, whisk together the melted butter, vegetable oil, eggs, pureed pumpkin, water, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.

Step 4

Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, folding gently with a spatula or wooden spoon. Mix until the batter is evenly combined, but do not overmix.

Step 5

Divide the batter evenly between the prepared loaf pans, spreading the top with a spatula to ensure an even rise.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 60–70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of each loaf comes out clean.

Step 7

Remove the pans from the oven and allow the loaves to cool in the pans for 10 minutes.

Step 8

Carefully remove the loaves from the pans and transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
