This recipe comes from a very old cookbook called A Leaf from Our Table which was published by the Guild for the Blind back in the 1970's if I remember correctly. Some of the book has fallen apart over the years, but the recipes are just as good and this one is no exception. I have made it for years.
4 eggs thoroughly beaten 3 cups sugar 1 cup vegetable oil (I use canola oil) 1-1/2 tsp salt 1 tsp cinnamon 1 tsp nutmeg (I have often substituted 2-3 tsp pumpkin pie spice as have a bunch of it!) 2/3 cup water 2 cups or 1 15 oz can solid pumpkin (I have occasionally used pumpkin pie mix and just adjusted the cooking time as it needs to bake longer; it's turned out nice and moist.) 3-1/2 cups all-purpose flour 2 tsp baking soda 1 or 2 cups chopped walnuts Sometimes I have added some chocolate chips Mix in order given. Turn batter into two greased 9x5 loaf pans. Bake at 350 degrees for one hour or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. In the original cookbook, this recipe is attributed to Sade Phelan of Oak Park, Illinois. _______________________________________________ Cookinginthedark mailing list [email protected] http://acbradio.org/mailman/listinfo/cookinginthedark
