Pumpkin Bread

I know we are pretty much past the time of making "pumpkin" items, but this bread was served at Macie's Thanksgiving Feast at preschool and I snuck back several times for just one more slice.

Pumpkin Bread

1 cup vegetable oil
3 eggs
2/3 cup milk
1 can (16 oz or 2 cups) pumpkin
3 1/2 cups all purpose flour
3 cups sugar
2 tsps baking powder
1 1/2 tsps salt
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp nutmeg
1 tsp ground cloves
1 tsp allspice
1/2 cup raisins and/or chopped nuts (optional)

Combine oil, eggs, milk, and pumpkin. Stir until blended.
Sift together flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and spices.
Make a well in the center of the dry mix & add pumpkin mix. Stir until well blended.
Add raisins or nuts if desired.
Pour into 2 greased loaf pans and bake at 325 for 1 hour and 15 minutes.
