Preheat oven to 350 degrees; butter and flour a 13 x 9 x 2inch baking
pan. Thoroughly mix the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon,
nutmeg and allspice in a bowl. Toss the raisins with 2 tablespoons of the
flour mixture. Whisk the butter, shortening, brown sugar, sugar and eggs in
a bowl; beat in the maple syrup and vanilla extract. Pour over the dry
ingredients, and stir to form a batter. Stir in the pecans and raisins.
Pour and scrape the batter into the prepared pan; spread evenly. Bake for
