Holiday Pumpkin Cake
"I baked this yummy cake in two 9-inch layers, but you can easily turn this into a 13- by 9-inch pan or make cupcakes. For a more festive cake, add 1 teaspoon grated fresh orange zest or 1 teaspoon cinnamon to the frosting. Add a tiny dollop of cranberry sauce or a few red raspberries to the center of the cake after frosting. Surround the cake stand with greenery, if desired...."
