3/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup vegetable oil

Instructions

2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves.
3. In another bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, granulated sugar, brown sugar, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract.
4. Gradually stir the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined. Do not overmix.
5. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
6. Bake for 55 to 65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

8. Slice and serve warm, toasted, or with your favorite toppings.
Notes
Use fresh ground spices for the most aromatic flavor.
Avoid overmixing the batter to keep the bread tender.
Wrap tightly for storage to keep it moist for several days.
