1/2 tsp. salt
4 eggs
1 15oz. can pumpkin

Combine the flour, sugar, pumpkin pie spice, baking powder, baking soda and salt; set aside. In a large bowl, beat eggs. Add pumpkin and oil; stir in cereal just until moistened. Add dry ingredients and stir just until combined. Fold in pecans and raisins. Pour into a greased 10-inch tube pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 60-65 minutes or until the cake tests done. Cool in pan for 10 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely. Dust with powdered sugar before serving, if desired.
