Ingredients
3 cups sugar (told ya!)
1 cup corn oil (I try not to substitute this – you can taste a difference)
4 eggs
1 15 oz can pumpkin
3 1/2 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
2 teaspoons baking soda
1/2 teaspoon each: salt and ground cloves
1 teaspoon each: cinnamon, nutmeg, and allspice
Preparation
Combine sugar, oil, eggs, and pumpkin in large bowl.
Sift dry ingredients together in separate bowl. Add to pumpkin mixture alternately with 2/3 cup water.
Mix well, but do not over beat. Bake at 350 1-1 1/2 hours. (I use a convection oven and it is done right at 1 hour. Check with knife to make sure it’s done.)
