Add sugar, oil and eggs into a mixing bowl. Mix until light and fluffy. Add pumpkin and mix well. Add in dry ingredients, flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt and pumpkin spices. Mix until blended. Add in water, stirring just until mixed. Pour batter into prepared pan. Generously sprinkle the top of the batter with the pearl sugar.
Bake for 55-65 minutes. Using a toothpick or fork, poke the bread. You want the toothpick to come out clean. Set the bread on a cooling rack to cool for 10 minutes to rest. Run a knife around the edges of the bread and remove from pan. Let cool completely on the cooling rack.
**you can replace the pearl sugar with regular sugar or your favorite streusel.
