Pumpkin Bread with Glaze

Grease and flour three 7x3 inch loaf pans.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

1 (15 oz) can pumpkin puree
4 eggs
1 c. vegetable oil
3 c. white sugar
2/3 c. water

In a large bowl, mix together pumpkin puree, eggs, oil, water and sugar until well blended.

3 ½ c. flour
2 tsp. baking soda
1 ½ tsp. salt
1 tsp. cinnamon
1 tsp. nutmeg
½ tsp. ground cloves
¼ tsp.  ground ginger

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves and ginger. Stir the dry ingredients into the pumpkin mixture until just blended.

Pour into the prepared pans.

Bake for about 50 minutes in the preheated oven. Loaves are done when toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.

Glaze:

Combine 1-1/2 cups powdered sugar, 3 Tablespoons apple cider and 3/4 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice.  

Glaze should be thick but pourable. Add more sugar or cider if needed.  

Pour over the cake while still warm.  Reserve some to pour over each slice when served.

I made this for the library staff on Halloween.
I think it was a hit!
