Ingredients

The following ingredients have 11 Servings
  • 1/2 cup raisins ((optional))
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup light brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup avocado oil,
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon allspice
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ginger
  • 1 pinch ground cloves
  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts ((optional))

Instruction

  • Place the raisins in a small bowl and cover with hot water. Let the raisins plump in the hot water while you create the cake batter.
  • Use an electric mixer to mix together sugar, brown sugar, oil and eggs until smooth. Add pumpkin puree and vanilla extract. Mix again until blended.
  • In a separate large bowl whisk together flour, baking powder, cinnamon, salt, allspice, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves.
  • Pour liquid ingredients into dry ingredients. Mix together until blended. Do not over-mix.
  • Drain the raisins and pat dry with a paper towel. Fold the raisins and chopped walnuts into the batter.
  • Grease a standard loaf pan with a layer of oil. Pour batter into the pan.
  • Bake cake at 325 degrees F for about 1 hour, until the edges brown and a toothpick inserted into the thickest section of the cake comes out clean. Remove cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 15 minutes.
  • Gently release the cake from the pan and place on a wire rack.
  • Allow to cool completely before slicing.
