I made this yesterday as a dessert after the Thanksgiving meal. It was my first experience with making pumpkin bread, so I wasn't sure what to expect. I did get a bit worried about it spilling over the loaf pan, it made quite a bit of batter, and it seemed to "grow" as it stood in the bowl before I put it in the pan. But my fears were unfounded ! It did make a nice big loaf, but no spillage. I added some extra spices -- nutmeg and ginger in addition to the cinnamon called for. Didn't measure, just eye-balled. I thought about putting a streusel topping on it, but I decided not to add anything else to an already full pan. In the end, I'm glad I didn't put the streusel on -- the cake rose so much, and the sides were pretty steep - it was like a little mountain ! lol that I think the topping would have just fallen off. It turned out great even so -- it went together quickly, easy to do in one bowl, and had a nice texture, not too dense and nicely flavored. The raisins were perfect for this. I was very pleased to get such good results on the first try with this recipe and I'll definitely make it again, maybe try chocolate chips in it next time.

This bread was not good - it was a dense lump with no flavor. I was very disappointed as I thought using the Bisquick would be a quick and easy ingredient.
