Pumpkin Cake

My kiddos all love cake, so I found a pumpkin cake recipe from the Pumpkin Patch Treasury.  If you are interested in a cookbook, they are still available at First Mennonite Church in Hillsboro....they are now only $10 and it contains about 200 recipes and other facts about pumpkins. 

Ingredients:

Mix 2 cups flour

2 teaspoons baking powder

2 teaspoons baking soda

2 teaspoons cinnamon

1 teaspoon salt

Mix together

2 cups sugar

4 eggs

Cooper has perfected the one-hand crack!!!  I actually wasn't quite ready for him to crack it.....I usually have him do it in a seperate bowl just in case.....but he did great and no egg shells went in!

1 1/4 cups oil

3 1/2 cups pumpkin (I just used 1 can and it turned out fine)

Stir

Bake

You could do a 9x13, I just used my round ones.....just because.

Frost with cream cheese frosting and enjoy!

I think this recipe was the favorite so far!!!
