Yield 20

Number Of Ingredients 15

3 cups white sugar
1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin puree
4 eggs, beaten
⅔ cup water
½ cup applesauce
½ cup vegetable oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 ½ cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
¾ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground cloves
¼ teaspoon ground ginger
1 cup chopped walnuts

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour 2 large bread pans.
  • Beat sugar, pumpkin, eggs, water, applesauce, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract together in a large mixing bowl.
  • Whisk flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, cloves, and ginger together in a separate bowl; stir into the pumpkin mixture until just combined. Fold walnuts into the resulting batter; pour into prepared bread pans.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 1 hour. Cool in the pans for 5 minutes before removing to cool completely on a wire rack. Wrap tightly in aluminum foil to store.
