PUMPKIN AND RAISIN CAKE

I have prepared several desserts with pumpkin early this month but didn't realise that Best Recipes event for this month is on 'Pumpkin'.
Anyway, with still some pumpkins left, I baked this cake using my latest acquired non-stick muffin tray. Got it rather cheap at the hypermart. The original recipe is a cake baked in 8 inch square pan.  It's a good thing, I used my new muffin tray cos' I managed to get 6 mini cakes which I can give my neighbours.
This cake is moist and dense but tasted good with the aroma of cinnamon.  It is not that sweet even with raisins in it as I have reduced the sugar to this amount.
Recipe adapted from Yum Yum Magazine
