Chocolate-chip Pumpkin Loaf

I really like chocolate chip/pumpkin desserts, so this is a favorite of mine.

Ingredients

1 3/4 cup flour
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. nutmeg
1/4 tsp. ginger
1/4 tsp. ground cloves
1/2 cup butter
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
3/4 cup pumpkin
3/4 cup chocolate chips

Combine dry ingredients. Cream butter, sugar, and eggs. With mixer on low speed (or by hand), add small amounts of flour mixture alternately with pumpkin. Stir in chocolate chips. Pour into greased, lightly floured loaf pan. Bake at 350- 65 minutes for a large loaf and about 20 minutes for small 6 X 3 1/2 X 2 1/2 pans. Can test with a toothpick to see if its done. Makes 1 large or 3 small loaves. :)
