1 cup white sugar
1 cup Parkay margarine (2 sticks)
1 cup canned pumpkin

If you're using raisins, put them in a saucepan, cover with water and bring to a boil and cook for five minutes, then drain. In a bowl, sift flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Set aside. In a mixer, combine sugar, Parkay, and egg. Beat until smooth. Add pumpkin, then slowly add the flour/baking powder/baking soda/cinnamon/salt mixture. Add vanilla.
