Directions
Preheat oven to 325℉ (160℃). Grease the inside of eight 1 pint wide-mouth canning jars or with shortening (do not use a cooking spray); set aside. Coarsely chop the raisins and walnuts; set aside.
Sift together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cloves, cinnamon, and ginger into a large bowl. Add raisins and walnuts; toss lightly to combine.
In another large bowl, beat eggs at high speed until thick and yellow (2-3 minutes). Gradually beat in the sugar until thick and light. At low speed, beat in the oil and pumpkin; blend well. Gradually stir in the flour mixture until well blended.
Divide mixture among the 7 or 8 canning jars (should be slightly less than ½ full). Wipe the sides of the jar in case you slop, or it'll burn. Place jars on a cookie sheet or they'll tip over.
Bake for about 40 minutes or until toothpick inserted into center of cakes (deep) comes out clean. When cakes test done, remove them, one at a time and immediately place the lids and rings on them.
You must boil the lids, rings, and jars for 10 minutes to sterilize them before using. Keep the lids in the hot water until you use them. Take them out, one by one and put them onto the jars.
Alternative method:
If you'd like to make a regular cake out of this without messing with the jars: Grease a 13 x 9 x 2-inch baking pan. Bake in preheated 350℉ (180℃) F oven for 50 minutes or until cake tests done.
Note:
Do not use pumpkin pie filling.
