this has turned out to be my favourite loaf at the moment so moist and delicious.
11/2 cups flour
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp nutmeg
1 tsp b. soda
1/4 tsp salt
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup grated carrot
1/2 cup raisins or sultana's
3/4 cup mashed and cooled pumpkin
2 eggs
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/4 cup water
Preheat oven to 160C , grease a loaf tin. Sift the flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, b. soda, and salt into a bowl, stir through the sugar, grated carrot and raisins and make a well in the centre. in a jug beat the pumpkin, eggs, oil and water then pour into the well, stir together gently and spoon into loaf tin and level off with a spatula. bake in preheated oven for 65-70 mins, allow to stand in tin for 8-10mins before turning on to cooling rack.

Sounds very nice, would you like to copy and paste it to the "Cakes" thread then there may be a higher chance of it staying around a while
