Spicy Pumpkin Cake
It's officially fall and when the pumpkins start showing up in the Farmers Markets along side the country roads, it is time to get out the pumpkin recipes. The Pumpkin Cake recipe that I am using today was my Aunts recipe that I have made a little easier, and gave it a fantastic frosting. Aunt Ann you will never recognize your recipe, but I will never forget where the inspiration came from and the wonderful role model that you were for me, thank you!
We Start With Some Very Simple Ingredients
And
A Fantastic Frosting
