This is that pumpkin bread made with raisins and walnuts. Way better than a fruitcake, and good served with whipped cream. It's not too sugary, and if you reduce the amount of sugar by a third or half, it still tastes pretty good. I have memories of this cake being eaten by Jack at midnight in the kitchen, and also I remember the cool whip sticking to his mustache. Good times. :-)
INGREDIENTS
2/3 cups butter (11 and a half tablespoons)
2 and 2/3 cups white sugar
4 eggs
2 cups pumpkin
2/3 cups water
3 and 1/2 cups flour
2 t baking soda
1.5 t salt
.5 t baking powder
1 t cinnamon
1 t cloves
2/3 cup chopped walnuts
2/3 cup raisins
Grease and flour a Bundt pan or two loaf pans. Bake at 350 degrees F for 65 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean.
This is a pretty good gift for neighbors and co-workers.
