Grease a heatproof pudding mold or bowl and set aside. If you don't have a pudding mold, use a metal or glass bowl that fits into your steaming setup.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each egg is thoroughly incorporated before adding the next.
Stir in the vanilla extract.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture in three parts, alternating with the milk. Begin and end with the dry ingredients.
Fold in the raisins, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared pudding mold or bowl. Cover the top with a layer of parchment paper and then a layer of aluminum foil, securing it tightly with kitchen twine or an elastic band.
Place the pudding mold in a large pot with a lid. Add enough boiling water to the pot to come halfway up the sides of the mold.
Cover the pot with a lid and steam the pudding over low heat for 1 1/2 hours, ensuring the water stays at a gentle simmer. Replenish the water as needed to maintain the level.
Carefully remove the pudding mold from the pot and allow the pudding to cool for 10 minutes before unmolding onto a serving plate.
Serve warm with custard, cream, or your preferred sauce. Enjoy!
