Pumpkin Bread

6 eggs, beaten
4 1/2 cups sugar
1 large can pumpkin
1 1/2 cups oil
3/4 cup water
5 1/4 cups flour
3/4 tsp baking powder
 3 tsp baking soda
1 1/4 tsp salt
1 1/2 tsp ground cloves
1 1/2 tsp cinnamon
* I use the cans that the pumpkin comes in to make this

 Cream together eggs and sugar. Mix pumpkin, oil, and water. Add to cream mixture. Add dry ingredients. Mix well together. Spray cans with Pam. Bake at 350 for 50-60 min. Makes 7 large pumpkin cans. If you do this in a regular loaf pan I don't know how much it will make or how long to cook it for so keep an eye on it.

Frosting:
8 oz pkg cream cheese softened
1 cube butter softened

Cream together sugar, eggs, oil. Add pumpkin, flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda, and cinnamon. Bake at 350 for 25-30 min in a well greased jelly roll pan. Frost with cream cheese frosting.

I made a pan of these and took half to a party and the other half to my family. I thought I would take a pic after I got home from my parents but they were gone. My family loved them
