Pumpkin Spice Raisin Cake

I've said it before, but Fall is one of my favorite times of the year because pumpkin is back in grocery stores! This makes a double batch of bread or 24 muffins, or 1 batch of each (which is obviously what I did). I always like a bit of something in my breads, and the raisins are a great addition. Not so keen on nuts, but if you are, 1 cup of walnuts should do the trick!

Yields 2 loaves or 24 muffins

3 cups of sugar
1 cup vegetable oil
4 eggs, lightly beaten
15 oz can of pumpkin
3 1/2 cups flour
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
4 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
2/3 cup water

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter and flour 2 loaf pans or line 2 12-cup cupcake pans with liners. Mix together butter and sugar. Add eggs and mix thoroughly, followed by the pumpkin. Combine all the dry ingredients in a separate bowl. Blend dry ingredients and water into the wet mixture, alternating. Divide the batter between the pans and bake for 30-40 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean for bread; 20-25 minutes for cupcakes.
