3 cups sugar (yes, you read that correctly, but it sure makes it taste yummy)

1 cup vegetable oil

3 large eggs

1 16oz can of pumpkin

3 cups flour

4 1/2 tsp. of pumpkin pie spice

1/2 tsp. salt

1/2 tsp. baking powder

1 tsp. baking soda

Preheat oven to 350*.  Butter and flour two bread loaf pans.  Beat sugar and oil in a large bowl to blend.  Then mix in eggs and pumpkin.

In a separate bowl, mix flour, spices, baking soda, salt, and baking powder. 

Stir this into the pumpkin mixture.

Divide batter equally between pans.  Bake until tester inserted into the center comes out clean.  About 1 hour - 1 1/2 hours. 

Turn loaves out onto racks and cool.
