southern pumpkin cake!
I've never eaten nor made a pumpkin cake. Never sounded good to me! I’m just not a fan of cinnamon, maybe that's why. This is an awesome take on a couple of recipes adding this omitting that. Not too sweet not too savory! How wrong I’ve been for 50 years! Hope y'all enjoy!! Just in time for Thanksgiving too!

How To Make southern pumpkin cake!
-
1Preheat your oven to 350 and grease your 9 X 13 pan. Gather all your ingredients.
-
2Combine your flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and nutmeg in a large bowl. Set aside.
-
3Thoroughly combine your oil, eggs, sugars, pumpkin and vanilla.
-
4Add wet ingredients to your dry. Mixing well with either your whisk or a hand mixer.
-
5Pour batter into your prepared pan and bake for 30-35 minutes. Toothpick test in the center to make sure it's done! The tooth pick should come out clean!!
-
6Allow to cool completely before icing. This is hard to do cause the smell is so great!
-
7INCING INSTRUCTIONS: In a large bowl mix with a hand mixer cream cheese and butter until creamy. Add your confectioners sugar a little at a time,(I do a half cup at a time) blending well between each addition then adding your salt and vanilla.
-
8Now you can get busy icing that cake as long as it’s completely cool. Let it sit in the fridge for a spell just to set up. You can add pecans on top for decoration if you like. I really hope you enjoy this as much as I do. Not too sweet not too savory. Remember keep it refrigerated, its cream cheese!!
