Preheat oven to 325º

Grease two loaf pans

In a medium bowl, combine dry ingredients

In a large bowl, beat butter and sugar until just blended. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Continue beating until light and fluffy. Beat in the pumpkin - it will look lumpy, that's ok

Add flour mixture and mix on low until combined

Divide batter evenly into prepared pans. Bake 65-75 minutes or until tester toothpick comes out clean.

Leave to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a rack to cool completely.
