02 - In a large mixing bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, and salt until evenly combined.
03 - In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, oil, and pumpkin puree until smooth.
04 - Pour wet ingredients over dry ingredients, then whisk together until smooth and no dry spots remain.
05 - Divide the batter evenly between the two prepared bread pans and bake at 350˚F for 45-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Cool in the pans for 10-15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to fully cool.
