  • In a separate large bowl, mix the pumpkin puree, granulated sugar, vegetable oil, eggs, and water until smooth.
  • Gradually add the dry mixture into the wet ingredients, stirring gently to combine.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it evenly. Bake for 60-65 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
