Starbucks had this fantastic pumpkin loaf recipe. Then, they discontinued it-- yanked the pumpkin rug right from under me. Here's a recipe for you to make yourself: 1 cup margarine 3 cups sugar 4 eggs 3 1/3 cups flour 2 teaspoons baking soda 1/2 teaspoon baking powder 1 1/2 teaspoons salt 1 teaspoon cinnamon 1 teaspoon nutmeg 4 teaspoons ginger 1/2 teaspoon cloves 2/3 cup water 2 cups canned pumpkin 1 cup nuts (optional) 1. Cream together margarine, sugar, and eggs. 2. Combine all dry ingredients and add to creamed mixture alternately with water and pumpkin. 3. Beat well. 4. Pour into 2 well greased loaf pans. 5. Bake at 350 degrees for 55-60 minute or until toothpick comes out clean.

Ingredients * 4 eggs * 2 cups brown sugar * 1 1/2 cups vegetable oil * 3 cups carrots, grated * 1 cup mixed fruit * 1 tsp. vanilla * 1 cup walnuts * 1 cup raisins * 2 tsp. baking soda * 2 tsp. baking powder * 1/2 tsp. nutmeg * 1/2 tsp. allspice * 1/2 tsp. cloves * 2 tsp. cinnamon * 1 tsp. ginger * 1/2 tsp. salt * 3 cups flour Instructions: 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees and grease two loaf pans.
