Remember that pumpkin cake I mentioned a couple days ago? It’s really, really good. Really good. I found it on Allrecipes, so it’s not mine, but I thought I’d share. ‘Cuz it’s really good! 😀 Great holiday cake. I had a nice ginormous little piece and another very huge small one again before bed.
- 2 c sugar
- 1 1/4 c vegetable oil
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 2 c pumpkin puree (I used fresh)
- 4 eggs
- 2 c flour
- 3 tsp baking powder
- 2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 2 tsp cinnamon
- (I added a dash of cloves and a couple of nutmeg)
- 1 c chopped walnuts, optional (I didn’t use these)
- Preheat oven to 350F.
- Mix sugar, oil, vanilla, pumpkin and eggs until very well blended (I’d say 3-4 minutes on med.)
- In separate bowl, mix dry ingredients.
- Mix flour mixture into the pumpkin mixture.
- Pour into a greased cake pan. (I used a 8×12 and a 9×13 probably would have worked better.)
- Bake 30 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean (since my pan was a little small for the batter, mine took a good bit longer).
Here’s the recipe for the cream cheese icing I used.
- 8 oz softened cream cheese (I used the low fat kind)
- 1/4 c softened butter
- 1 c powdered sugar
- 1/2 tsp vanilla
- Just mix the ingredients together very thoroughly and spread it on the cake, once it’s cooled…it’ll come out super creamy.
That sounds delicious! I will have to try it sometime. We have friends coming for dinner tonight. I wonder if they eat pumpkin.

This looks very tasty. I was checking out google analytics for the last month and wasn’t sure how yours fit into 8 hits so I stopped by to check you out when I saw this. I thought I would mention another one of my sites that you might enjoy if this is the kind of post you make. mysuperrecipe.com is a fairly new user based recipe directory which not only uses commentLuv, KeywordLuv and is a dofollow blog, registered authors get live links on their posts and profiles.
