Spicy Pumpkin Bread - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    2 cups all-purpose flour
    1 cup whole wheat flour
    2 teaspoons baking soda
    1 teaspoon ground allspice
    1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
    1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
    1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
    3/4 teaspoon salt
    2/3 cup granulated sugar
    1 1/3 cups packed brown sugar
    1 cup low-fat milk
    2/3 cup butter, softened
    2 teaspoons vanilla extract
    2 large eggs
    1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin
Preparation
    Preheat oven to 350\u00b0.
    Lightly spoon flour into dry measuring cups; level with a knife.
    Combine flour and spices (flour through cloves) in a large bowl.
    Add sugar and the next 6 ingredients (sugar through pumpkin) in a different bowl, and stir well with a whisk or mixer until smooth.
    Add to flour mixture, stirring just until moist.
    Spoon batter into 2 (8 x 4-inch) loaf pans coated with cooking spray.
    Bake at 350\u00b0 for 1 hour or until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean.
    Cool loaves in pans 10 minutes on a wire rack; remove from pans.
    Cool loaves completely; cut each loaf into 12 slices.
    You may also cook in small loaf pans or muffin tins, reduce cooking time to 30-35 min.
    Check for doneness.
    NOTES: If you're tempted to fiddle with the spices (maybe substitute pumpkin-pie spice for the allspice, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves), please don't.
    I tried it both ways and it wasn't as good.
