Fall Favorites Day 17 – Pumpkin Cake Recipe

Earlier this week, my mom made a Pumpkin Cake and was delicious! It is the best cake I have had in a long time so I thought I would share it. If you try it let me know what you think. Also, if you have a favorite fall recipe send it to me here and I might post it on the blog next week. 🙂

Ingredients:

2 cups white sugar

1 1/4 cups vegetable oil

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 cups canned pumpkin

4 eggs

2 cups all-purpose flour

3 teaspoons baking powder

2 teaspoons baking soda

1/4 teaspoon salt

2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

1 cup chopped walnuts (Optional)

 Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 12×18 inch pan. Sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and cinnamon. Set aside.

In a large bowl combine sugar and oil. Blend in vanilla and pumpkin, then beat in eggs one at a time. Gradually beat in flour mixture. Stir in nuts. Spread batter into prepared 12×18 inch pan.

Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Allow to cool.

For icing the recipe recommended a cream cheese icing but we just used a confectioners sugar glaze
