1 ½ tsp. nutmeg

PREPARATION
Preheat oven to 350*.
In a very large bowl, sift together sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cloves, cinnamon, nutmeg, and flour.
In a second bowl, beat together eggs, olive oil, and pumpkin purée.
Combine the wet with the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Divide into well-greased baking pans (this recipe fills approximately 3 traditional loaf pans).
Bake for 1-1 ½ hours until the center has set and the toothpick test is clean.
Allow to cool for 20 minutes before slicing.
