I love this season of the year…the leaves are falling, the air is crisp and cool…just right for a yummy dessert like this!  Enjoy!

Makes a 9×13-inch cake

• 2 cups flour (I use hard white whole wheat flour)
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• ¼ teaspoon sea salt
• 1 teaspoons cinnamon
• 1 teaspoons nutmeg
• ½ teaspoon ground cloves
• 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice (or use ½ t. cinnamon, ¼ t. nutmeg, 1/8 t. ginger, 1/8 t. ground cloves)
• 2 cups sugar (use organic sugar or Sucanat for a healthier option)
• 4 eggs
• 1 cup olive oil (I didn’t try this yet, but you may try substituting 1 cup applesauce for the oil)
• 15-oz. Can pumpkin
• 1 cup raisins

In a large bowl, combine all ingredients. Mix completely. Pour into a greased 9×13-inch baking pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 40-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool cake before frosting.

Frost with your favorite cream cheese frosting or this Butter Cream Frosting.
