2 c. canned pumpkin

3 c. sugar

1 c. water

1 c. vegetable oil

3 1/3 c. all-purpose flour

2 tsp. baking soda

Slowly add the dry ingredients to the pumpkin mixture, beating until smooth. Grease 2 9x5 loaf pans and dust them with flour. Evenly divide the batter between the two pans. Bake for 60 to 70 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 to 15 minutes, then remove from pan.
