This morning, we were studying United States geography, and at the end of the chapter was a section of American recipes. This Pumpkin Cake was included, and when I saw how simple it was and realized that we had all of the ingredients, we decided to make it. The end result was a moist, delicious, pretty treat that was perfect for this fall afternoon.
Later on today, I was so glad that I had this ready when my kids’ friends came over. It was wonderful to be able to offer to them a delicious fall dessert.
Baking it in a bundt cake pan and sprinkling a little powdered sugar over the top gave this cake an elegant look, don’t you think? No one needs to know that it starts with a yellow cake mix…
So bake one of these delectable cakes today, invite a friend over, and make this fall day one to remember.
