Pumpkin cake with raisins, walnuts and cream cheese frosting

Pumpkin pie fresh out of the oven

This is a delightful cake, which can be served with or without cream cheese frosting.

It is moist and flavored with cinnamon, spices and nutmeg.

I used pumpkin puree, but if you want, you can buy a sugar pumpkin, remove the seeds, roast it and use the cooked pumpkin inside instead. Sugar pumpkins are usually sold at farmers markets.
