2 2/3 c. sugar
2/3 c. oil
2/3 c. water
1/2 tsp. baking powder
1 1/2 tsp. salt
1 c. raisins
4 eggs
1 can pumpkin (1 1/2 c.)
3 1/2 c. flour
2 tsp. baking soda
1 1/2 tsp. cinnamon
3 oz. pkg. black walnuts (or plain)

Mix all ingredients together. Add nuts and raisins last. Bake in greased and floured pans at 350 degrees for 50 minutes. This can easily be doubled if desired. Freezes very well.
