How to Make Pat's Pumpkin Bread

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease and flour three 5x9 inch loaf pans or six to eight 3x6 inch loaf pans.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and 1 ¾ cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in 4 large eggs, one at a time, then stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 teaspoons baking soda, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, ½ teaspoon ground cloves, ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg, 1 teaspoon salt, and 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with 1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin puree and 1 cup water, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
  6. Pour batter evenly into prepared pans.
  7. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. While the bread bakes, prepare the topping (see below).
  9. Once baked, let the bread cool in the pans for 10 minutes before inverting onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. Drizzle with warm topping once cooled.
