    posted by sparrow in Send in the Clones.
    from the Los Angeles Times (Fall 1984). Clifton's
    West Covina, CA

    List of Ingredients




    3 cups sugar
    3 cups flour
    1 tablespoon baking powder
    1 tablespoon baking soda
    1 tablespoon cinnamon
    3/4 teaspoon salt
    1 1/2 cups oil
    3 1/4 cups canned pumpkin
    4 eggs, slightly beaten
    Cream Cheese Frosting (see recipe following)

    Cream Cheese Frosting:
    1 pound powdered sugar
    1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese
    2 teaspoons vanilla
    1/2 cup butter or margarine
    1/2 cup chopped raisins

    Recipe



    Beat together sugar, flour, baking powder,
    baking soda, cinnamon, and salt in mixer at
    medium speed until well mixed. Add oil and
    continue to beat until dry ingredients are
    moistened. Add pumpkin and mix again until
    well blended. Add slightly beaten eggs and
    blend 1 minute longer. Do not overmix.

    Turn batter into 3 lightly greased, paper-
    lined 9-inch cake pans. Smooth batter out
    in pans with spatula so cake will be level
    when baked.

    Bake at 325 degrees F 40 minutes or until
    done. Cool on racks, then turn out and
    fill and frost with Cream Cheese Frosting.

    Makes 1 (3-layer) cake.


    Cream Cheese Frosting

    1 pound powdered sugar
    1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese
    2 teaspoons vanilla
    1/2 cup butter or margarine
    1/2 cup chopped raisins

    Combine sugar, cream cheese, vanilla, and
    butter. Mix until blended. Add raisins and
    mix until blended. Refrigerate until
    needed. Make sure cake is cool before
    frosting it.

    NOTE: IF YOU MAKE CUPCAKES...IT MAKES AROUND
    3 DOZEN. USE REGULAR CUPCAKE LINERS AND
    PANS. TIME IS REDUCED TO 25 MINS. BUT WATCH
    THEM AT THE 20 MINUTE MARK. BETWEEN 20-25
    MINS...THEY SHOULD BE PERFECT.
