Ingredients

• 2 1/3 cup sugar

• 2 teaspoons baking soda
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon nutmeg
• 3 1/3 cup flour*

• 2 cups pumpkin

* We like to use a combination of 3 cups white flour and 1/3 cup whole wheat flour.

Directions

Combine sugar and oil in a large bowl. Using an electric mixer, add eggs, one at a time to incorporate completely. In a separate bowl, combine dry ingredients and add to egg mixture alternately with egg nog. Mix well and add pumpkin. Mix again. Pour into 2 large or 3 medium, well greased loaf pans.Bake at 350 degrees for 50 to 60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack for 10-15 minutes. Remove from pans and let cool completely. This bread freezes well.
