This recipe came to me from my good friend Jewel who is an excellant cook. I woke up realizing that I needed to take a dessert to a R.S. luncheon. I knew if I opened my cook book I would be overwhelmed with all the possibilities. So I thought of Julie and knew she would recommend something good and narrow my choices. She said, " I think of the season and what would taste good that time of year." So thus pumpkin cake and wow did it taste good. Thanks my good friend for your advice that day. I needed help and you were there.
