Preheat your oven to 350Β°F (175Β°C) and grease a 9x9 inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs and sugar together until light and fluffy.
Add the vegetable oil, pumpkin puree, and vanilla extract to the egg mixture. Mix until well combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold in the raisins, if using, until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, cut into slices and serve. Enjoy your delicious nut-free pumpkin slice!
