3 eggs
1 1/4 cup sugar
1 cup cooking oil
1 1/2 cups pumpkin purée (fresh or canned)
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/4 tsp. baking soda
1 1/2 tsp. baking powder
1 1/4 tsp. salt
2 tsp. Makara Cinnamon
1/4 tsp. cloves
1/4 tsp. nutmeg
1 cup raisins

Preheat oven to 375°.
In large bowl, combine eggs, sugar and oil. Stir in pumpkin. Blend well.
Sift together all dry ingredients and add to mixture in bowl. Blend well. Add vanilla and raisins. Blend briefly.
Pour into greased 9″x5″x3″ loaf pan and bake for 50-55 minutes or until loaf is nicely browned and a tester inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool in pan at least 15 minutes; then remove carefully, cool completely and wrap well. Store in cool place until ready to serve.
Makes one loaf.
Note: For an extra touch of flavor, sprinkle top of batter with finely chopped pecans and a liberal sprinkling of Makara Cinnamon just before baking.
