Ingredients

The ingredients are:
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon (heaping) cloves
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg (I use freshly ground)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 1/2 cups packed brown sugar
  • 1 1/2 cups white sugar
  • 1 cup butter (1/2 cup melted and 1/2 cup very soft)
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 (16 ounce) can pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
  • 1 tablespoon dark rum (can use more)
  • 1 1/2 cups raisins
We recommend you get your ingredients ready before you start cooking. Once you're ready, here are the steps to making this delicious recipe

How to Make

  • Step 1: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Position oven rack to second-lowest position. Grease two heavy insulated or glass 9 x 5-inch loaf pans.

  • Step 2: In a medium bowl combine the flour with the next 6 dry ingredients.

  • Step 3: In a very large bowl beat the sugars with butter (1/2 cup melted, 1/2 cup VERY soft butter) and eggs for 3 minutes scraping down the sides of the bowl frequently There should be no sugar granules remaining). Beat in pumpkin puree and rum until completely combined.

  • Step 4: Add the dry mix to the wet mix. Beat on low speed until combined. Mix in raisins

  • Step 5: Divide the batter between both pans.

  • Step 6: Bake for about 40 minutes or until loaves test done. Cool for 20 minutes in pans then remove to wire racks -- yes slice off a warm piece to taste, then try not slice off a second piece, bet you can't!!
