Ingredient Quantity
Water 2 cups
Raisins 3/4 cup
Vegetable oil 1/2 cup
All-purpose flour 2 cups
Granulated sugar 1 cup
Pumpkin pie spice 1 1/2 teaspoons
Baking soda 1 teaspoon
Fine salt 1/2 teaspoon
Large egg 1, lightly beaten
Walnuts, very finely chopped (optional) 3/4 cup
Directions for the Cake:
Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C) and grease an 8×8 inch baking pan with baking spray. Line the bottom of the pan with parchment paper and set aside.
In a large saucepan, combine the water and raisins. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil and cook for 10 minutes.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and add the vegetable oil to the hot raisin mixture. Allow the mixture to cool to room temperature.
In a separate large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, pumpkin pie spice, baking soda, and fine salt. Whisk the dry ingredients together to break up any lumps.
Pour the cooled raisin mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
Add the lightly beaten egg and the finely chopped walnuts (if using) to the batter. Stir until everything is evenly incorporated.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean with a few moist crumbs attached.
Let the cake cool completely in the pan before assembling.
