Ingredients
- 1/2 cup raisins (optional)
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup light brown sugar
- 1/2 cup avocado oil, plus more for brushing pan (you may substitute canola or vegetable oil; I prefer avocado oil for its nutritional value)
- 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)
Instructions
- 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.
Notes
- You will also need: wire cooling rack, standard loaf pan - 8-1/2 x 4-1/2 x 2-1/2 inches
- 8-1/2 x 4-1/2 x 2-1/2 inches
- Since originally posting this recipe, I have updated the oil recommendation to avocado oil. It has more nutritious qualities than the oils previously recommended, and results in the same delicious flavor and texture. If you don't have any on hand, vegetable oil or canola oil will also work just fine.
