Ingredients
3 cups sugar
1 cup oil
4 eggs
Rind of one lemon, grated
2 1/2 cups pumpkin
3 1/2 cups flour
1/2 tsp salt
2 tsp soda
1 tsp nutmeg
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp allspice
1 tsp cloves, ground
1 1/2 cups chopped walnuts
Mix the sugar and oil well. Beat in eggs one
at a time. Add lemon rind and pumpkin. Sift the dry
ingredients together; stir in nuts so they are well coated.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the pumpkin mixture, blending
thoroughly. Pour the batter into 2 well greased loaf pans (8.5 x
4.5 x
2 3/4). Bake at 350°F about 1 hour and 10 minutes. A cake
tester inserted in the center should come out clean. Place
loaves on a cooling
rack to cool for 10 minutes before removing from pans.
Orange Cream Cheese
8 ounces cream cheese
1/4 cup orange juice
1/2 tsp orange zest
Mix together and serve alongside the sliced
pumpkin bread. Delicious!
