Introduction
This is a recipe I got from my Mom years ago, a recipe traded over coffee and conversation. I have played with it, as I do all recipes it seems. This version is great and I know the raisins sound weird but believe me they really make this cake special. I give loave's of this cake to friends and neighbors at Christmas. It freezes beautifually also.
Ingredients

 

4 lg eggs
2 cups granulated sugar
2 cups flour
1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp ground cloves
1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
1/4 tsp ground ginger
2 tsp ground cinnamon
2tsp baking powder
2 tsp baking soda
2 cups pumpkin
1/4 cup oil
3/4 cups applesauce
1 cup chopped pecans or walnuts

(The original recipe calls for 1 cup oil, but I adapted this technique and it produces better results with less fat)

 

Directions
Step: 1

Pre heat oveen to 350 degrees.
Grease and flour an 8 cup tube pan or 3 medium sized loaf pans. This may also be baked in cup cake pans, for about 20 minutes and then check for doneness

Beat eggs with sugar and oil until slightly thick and yellow.Add applesauce to egg and oil mixture.
Sift together ,flour, salt, baking soda, baking powder and spices  and add to egg mixture, along with the pumpkin. Mix well to combine.
Pour batter evenly into pan (s) and bake the tube pan for 60 minutes or the loaf pans for 30 minutes or until a tooth pick inserted in the center comes out clean. .

Unmold cakes and cool on wire racks. Dust finished cake with powdered sugar or drizzle with a glaze made with powdered sugar and cream.
