The Best Pumpkin Bread

1 C butter, softened
3 C sugar
3 eggs
3 C all-purpose flour
1 Tbsp. baking powder
1 1/2 tsp baking soda
1 1/2 tsp cinnamon
1 1/2 tsp ground cloves
1 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
1 (16 oz) can solid pack pumpkin

In a mixing bowl, cream butter and sugar. Add eggs; mix well. Combine dry ingredients; stir into creamed mixture just until moistened. Stir in pumpkin. Pour into 2 greased loaf pans. Bake at 350' for 1 hour. Check with toothpick.

I found this on allrecipes.com and made it for my primary class last Sunday. They had all brought their scriptures  several weeks in a row and I promised them a treat. They were thrilled with this. And I have tried many different recipes for Pumpkin Bread, but Isaac and I have decided that this one is our favorite. It is very moist. Isaac exclaimed as he pulled it out of the oven that this was the best looking bread we have ever made. So we've decided it's a keeper.

This can be made into small muffins for small mouths. You can also add chocolate chips.
