Fantastic post on the Giroux Mansion
Flyingwedge! I wasn't aware it ever existed.

Suzanne G. on Yelp.
The Monastery gave their recipe to the LA Times back in the 1970's and I've been making it ever since.
I still have the newspaper clipping on my inside kitchen cabinet because I make it so often. Here's the original recipe:
Monastery of the Angels Pumpkin Bread:
Preheat over to 350 degrees
3 1/2 cups flour
3 cups sugar
2 teas. baking soda
1 teas. cinnamon
1 teas. ground nutmeg
1 1/2 teas. salt
4 eggs beaten (I use Jumbo)
1 cup veg. oil
2/3 cup water
2 cups pure canned pumpkin (I use Libby's)
1 cup walnuts (optional)
1 cup golden raisins (optional)
Mix eggs, oil, water and pumpkin & set aside.
Mix all dry ingredients
Add dry mixture to wet ingredients a cup at a time until smooth with either a whisk or mixer.
This will make (3) 5X9 loaves.
