Anyone have a recipe for pumpkin spice cake that's tried & true? I'd like to bake one before fall is gone.

Better late than never! I finally found the recipe, sorry for the delay.
Pumpkin Spice Cake
1/2 cup butter
1 cup sugar
1 egg
1 cup raisins
1 cup chopped pecans
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon allspice
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1 can pumpkin pie filling, 18 ounces
confectioners' sugar for dusting
Preparation:
Cream butter and sugar until light. Beat in egg then add raisins and pecans. Sift together the flour, salt, soda, cinnamon, allspice, nutmeg and ginger. Heat pumpkin pie filling until warm. Add sifted dry ingredients alternately with the pumpkin pie filling. Blend well. Generously grease a 9-inch tube cake pan. Sprinkle with flour, shaking to cover surfaces; shake out excess flour. Spoon batter into pan and bake at 350° for 50 to 60 minutes, or until a wooden pick or cake tester inserted near center comes out clean. Cool in pan for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack and finish cooling. Dust with confectioners sugar before serving.
I have substituted other nuts when I did not have pecans available. One year I used dried cranberries instead of raisins and that was a good cake too.
