Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray 9-inch round baking pan with baking spray; set aside. Combine pineapple, flours, brown sugar, eggs, oil, 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice, baking powder and baking soda in large bowl. Beat with electric mixer on low speed just until blended. Beat on high speed 2 minutes, scraping bowl frequently. Gently stir in carrots and raisins. Pour into prepared pan.
Bake 25 minutes, or until wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. Let stand 10 minutes in pan before removing; then cool completely on wire rack.
