Gotta make this every fall.  So delicious, and gives me warm nostalgic memories of my mom who used to make this 50+ years ago.  My brother and sister and I would walk home half a mile from school on a blustery fall afternoon to a warm clean sweet-smelling home and mom would have fresh baking and milk to serve us.

Easy to make:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

First, in a large bowl, mix together 2 eggs, 1 cup sugar, 3/4 cup cooking oil, and 1 cup pumpkin.

Second, in another bowl sift together 1 1/2 cups flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1 tsp baking soda, 1 tsp cinnamon, and 1/4 tsp salt.

Gradually stir the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients.  Add 3/4 cup raisins.

Pour into a large sized greased loaf pan.  Bake 60-70 minutes.  Allow to cool before slicing.
