Pumpkin Cake

When it gets cold I think cooking and gasp, even baking . . .people who know me get that baking is a rare occasion for me except at this time of year. While I love to cook, tweak, and adjust recipes. Baking is a follow the recipe kind of thing or it doesn't work. I think this is easy enough that anyone can do it, even me.
