Prepare a steaming pan and fill it with water to steam the pudding.

Spray the steaming pan with non-stick spray.

In a bowl, blend the unsalted butter and granulated sugar until fluffy.

Add the eggs one at a time, blending until light and fluffy after each addition.

In a separate bowl, combine the whole milk and vanilla extract, then mix with the flour and baking powder.

Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter and sugar mixture, blending until well incorporated.

Fold in the raisins gently into the batter.

Pour the batter into the prepared steaming pan.

Place the steaming pan on a rack inside a pot filled with boiling water, ensuring steam surrounds the pan.

Cover the pot with foil and a lid, and steam on low heat for 1 hour 15 minutes to 1 hour 20 minutes.

Check the pudding with a toothpick to ensure it comes out clean before removing it from the pan.

Serve the pudding on a plate, optionally with custard.
