Pumpkin-Spice Cake

I found this recipe in an old Betty Crocker cookbook. It called for ginger powder, which I didn't have, so I substituted with pumpkin pie spice. Also, It called for cream cheese frosting which I left off, since I'm not a big fan. The cake is really sweet and moist all on It's own, so I don't think that a frosting is necessary anyway...just personal preference. It was eaten up in one day, luckily not by me...even my baby niece was running around with a huge piece in her tiny fist :)

Ingredients:

• 4 large eggs
• 2 cups sugar
• 1 cup vegetable oil
• 15 - 16 ounce can pumpkin
  
• 2 cups flour
• 2 tsp. baking powder
• 2 tsp. cinnamon
• 1 tsp. baking soda
• 1/2 tsp. salt
• 1/2 tsp. ground cloves
• 1/2 tsp. groung ginger (or pumpkin pie spice)
• 1 cup raisins

Method:

Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a cake, or bundt pan. Beat eggs, sugar, oil and pumpkin in a large bowl until smooth. Stir in flour, baking powder, cinnamon, baking soda, salt, ginger and cloves. Stir in raisins. Spread in pan. Bake 25 - 30 minutes or until light brown. Cool completely in pan on wire rack.
