1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp ground nutmeg

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×5 inch loaf pan.
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
In a large bowl, beat together oil and sugar. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined.
