pumpkin bread/cake

a few were asking for a recipe for this on facebook so i thought i'd post it here as it goes to my facebook page as well. this is a recipe for my mom and its very very yummy =)

cake:
3 cups sugar
1 cup oil
2/3 cups water
4 eggs
2 cups pumpkin
1 teaspoon each of cinnamon, nutmeg and allspice
3 and 1/2 cup self raising flour

mix sugar, oil, water, egg and pumpkin in order given.
mix in sifted dry in gredients.
bake in tube pan 350 degrees for 1hr 15min.
(if you use loaf pans, check in 50 minutes or if you make cupcakes 20-25minutes is enough.)

frosting:
1 8oz cream cheese
1/2 cup butter
1 tsp vanilla
1lb box 10x sugar (powdered sugar/icing sugar)

cream together and frost away =)
p.s. i made 24 cupcakes and a loaf of bread out of this recipe and only made up half of the icing as that was all the powdered sugar i had and it was more than enough! though its so so yummy, the more the merrier (and fatter ~ ha ha)
its so yummy!! the icing along, OMG!

enjoy =)
