List of Ingredients

3 cups sugar
1 cup oil
4 eggs
Rind of one lemon, grated
2 1/2 cups pumpkin
3 1/2 cups flour
1/2 tsp salt
2 tsp soda
1 tsp nutmeg
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp allspice
1 tsp cloves, ground
1 1/2 cups chopped walnuts



Recipe


Mix the sugar and oil well. Beat in eggs one at a time. Add lemon rind and pumpkin. Sift the dry ingredients together; stir in nuts so they are well coated. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the pumpkin mixture, blending thoroughly. Pour the batter into 2 well greased loaf pans (8.5 x 4.5 x 2 3/4). Bake at 350°F about 1 hour and 10 minutes. A cake tester inserted in the center should come out clean. Place loaves on a cake rack to cool for 10 minutes before removing from pans.


Orange Cream Cheese---

8 ounces cream cheese
1/4 cup orange juice
1/2 tsp orange zest


Mix together and serve alongside the sliced pumpkin bread. Delicious!
