3 cups sugar
3 cups all purpose flour
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice

How To Make mom's moist and amazing pumpkin bread

Step 1

CREAM TOGETHER the first 4 ingredients in a medium sized bowl.

Step 2

SIFT TOGETHER the next 7 ingredients in a separate, large bowl.
Step 3

Add the creamed mixture to the flour mix and beat on medium speed for 2 minutes, then STIR in the chopped nuts and dates.
Step 4

Pour batter into 2 greased 8x4x3 (or larger) loaf pans. Bake in preheated oven at 350 for approximately 1 hour. It may take a few minutes longer depending on your oven and the size loaf pans you use, so use a cake tester or toothpick inserted in center to test for doneness. When it comes clean, it's done!
Step 5

Let cool in pan for about 10 minutes, then remove and place loaves on wire rack for about 30 minutes. IMPORTANT: Wrap each loaf in foil while still a little warm and then wrap again in plastic wrap and place in refrigerator or freezer until ready to serve. This step guarantees a beautiful and moist pumpkin bread!
