THANKSGIVING KUCHEN
(Or Dyk Filler, As Lou Calls It)


ingredients

3 c. flour
2 c. sugar
2 c. pumpkin
2 tsp. baking powder
2 tsp. soda
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
4 eggs
1 c. cooking oil
1/2 tsp. salt
1 c. chopped nuts
6 oz. raisins
6 oz. chocolate chips

preparation

Sift dry ingredients together into a mixing bowl. Add eggs, oil, pumpkin and remainder of ingredients; mix thoroughly. Lightly oil and flour a tube pan so batter will not stick. Add batter. Bake in a 350° oven for about 1 hour and 10 minutes. Drizzle with orange frosting after cake is baked and cooled. I prefer cake plain or with powdered sugar.
