In a seperate bowl, mix sugar, oil, eggs and vanilla. Combine both mixtures and fold into the shredded pumpkin. Once the ingredients are all incorporated, pour into a non-stick 9 by 5 by 3 inch loaf pan. If your pan is not non-stick coat it with butter and flour.

Bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes. At this point, a knife inserted into the middle of the loaf should come out clean. Cool for 15 minutes and turn out onto a cooling rack. Cool completely. For muffins, temperature should also be 325 degrees, but bake for 30 minutes.
