Pumpkin Cake

So as part of my thanksgiving contribution I made a pumpkin cake!

It is nothing fancy or difficult to make. But I figure I have not done a food post about something I have made in a while (and lets me honest cooking has not been my thing lately)

Anyways here we go:

The ingredients!

Pumpkin Cake Recipe

*This makes either two 9 inch square pans OR a 13 x 9 (+) a 5 x 9 pans. The one at the shower was a 13 x 9 and I got to keep the 5 x 9 cake at home :) Putting the batter in one 13 x 9 would be too much.

Ingredients:

3 cups flour

3 cups sugar

1 TBL baking soda

1 TBL baking powder

1 1/2 tsp salt

1 tsp cinnamon

Sift all dry ingredients together in one bowl

In a separate bowl combine:

6 eggs

1 1/2 cup vegi oil

3 cups pumpkin puree (you can use the whole can. It's the bigger size can)

Add wet ingrediens to dry in a mixer

Spread into greased pans

Bake at 350 degrees for 35-45min

Frosting:

1 - 8oz bar of cream cheese

1 cube margarine

1 lb powedered sugar

1 tsp vanilla

Mix all ingredients in mixer

*Note: Make sure the cake is completely cool before frosting. I usually bake the cakes the night before and make the frosting the next morning.

The final product!
