Modified from Great Grandma
3 1/2 cup flour
2 tsp baking soda
1 1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp nutmeg
2 cups sugar
1 (16 oz) can pumpkin
1 cup vegetable oil
2/3 cup water
2 eggs
2 cups raisins
1 cup chopped nuts
***I don't usually do either raisins or nuts...I put in a bag of mini chocolate chips instead!***
Preheat oven to 350. Great two loaf pans. Mix dry ingredients and wet separately. Then combine. Finally mix in any add-ins. The recipe said to use a mixer, but I can do this by hand.
Bake for an hour.
