Ingredients:

• 1-1/2 cups flour
• 1-1/4 tsp baking soda
• 1 15-oz can pumpkin
• 2 eggs
• 1 cup sugar
• 1/2 cup cooking oil
• 1/2 tsp nutmeg
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 1 tsp vanilla
• 1/2 tsp orange flavoring
• 1/2 tsp rum flavoring
• 1/2 tsp brandy flavoring

Method

Mix flour & baking soda; set aside. Mix all other ingredients; beat well. Add flour mixture slowly, beating at low just until combined. Pour into 4 greased mini-loaf pans or one large greased loaf pan. Bake at 350 degrees about 40 minutes for mini-loaf pans; about 1 hour for large loaf pan.

Notes: I created this recipe in 1972, after a frustrating search for the "perfect" pumpkin bread. After trying out at least 20 different recipes on my husband and co-workers, this one became the hands-down favorite. No holiday gathering at our house is complete unless the smell of this pumpkin bread is wafting throughout the house. This bread keeps well, and improves with age.

Number of servings: 10
