The family was hungry for something that involved pumpkin, so being that I had 2 large cans of pumpkin left over from last year and still hadn't expired...I tweaked a recipe that my friend Linda shared with me. I was out of baking soda, so I made it work with self rising flour. I'll be making this cake again. It would be great with some nuts in the topping as well, next time I will add some pecans. Very moist, Enjoy!
