Ingredients

2/3 cup shortening
2 2/3 cup sugar
4 eggs
1 pound pureed pumpkin
2/3 cup water
3 1/3 cup flour
2 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon cinnamon

Preparation

Cream the shortening and the sugar. Mix in the eggs. Add the all the rest of the ingredients besides the chocolate chips, nuts, and/or raisins and mix well. Gently fold in the chips, nuts and/or raisins (but you should really just use chocolate chips). Place in a greased and floured bundt pan (or two loaf pans) and bake at 350 for 65-75 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
