3 c. sugar
1 c. oil
4 eggs
2 c. pumpkin
2/3 c. water (brandy is also good)
1 1/2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. cinnamon
1 tsp. nutmeg
1 tsp. cloves (if you like it spicy)
3 1/2 c. flour
2 tsp. baking soda

Mix ingredients together. Mix well and pour into 2 loaf pans (greased and floured). Bake 1 hour at 350 degrees. Test, as sometimes it takes a bit longer, depending on the oven.
