I am addicted to pumpkin. Why limit it to Thanksgiving when you can have it year round? And, here's a bonus: at work today I learned that pumpkin extract and cinnamon have both been clinically shown to lower blood glucose levels. This cake is a cure for diabetes!!!! (Not true. I just tell myself this so I feel better after I down half the pan.)
Pumpkin Cake
Combine:
1 2/3 cup sugar
1 15 oz can pumpkin puree (not pie filling)
1 cup oil
Blend until smooth.
Add 3 eggs, one at a time, blending in between.
Sift together:
2 cups flour
2 tsp cinnamon
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
1 tsp baking soda
Blend until smooth.
Bake in a greased 9x13 pan at 350 for 30 minutes
Cream Cheese Frosting
Combine:
1 stick butter, softened
2 tsp vanilla
1 8 oz package cream cheese
2 cups powdered sugar
Spread over cooled cake. Try not to eat it all at once. It really is hard not to.
