Posted By Priscilla Tsai on Tue, Sep 30, 2008 at 2:23 PM
Although the forecast for Charlotte is calling for temperatures in the 70s and 80s this week, according to the calendar it's officially fall season. I consider baking with pumpkin a faux pax any time of the year other than fall and winter. So I'm going to kick off the season with some long-awaited delicious pumpkin cake. Here's a recipe courtesy of Allrecipes.com.
Pumpkin Cake
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) |
