Pumpkin Spice Cake

Tis the divine season of pumpkin !!! I just think fall, and the month of October, just go hand in hand with pumpkins. Pumpkin pie, pumpkin seeds, pumpkin soup, pumpkin butter, and this wonderful pumpkin spice cake. It's moist and delicious, the aroma in the kitchen, while it bakes is out of this world. And just when you thought it could not get any better.......it does.......it is slathered with a cream cheese frosting. I have no step by step pictures today, sorry friends. You see I baked this cake, this morning at 7am (yes I am crazy like that). The lighting at that hour in my kitchen because its dark out and people are still sleeping, is not very good. It would have required I use the camera flash, and well, food and camera flashes just dont make for great pictures. Trust me though, it's a one bowl cake, just add everything and mix it up. So run, don't walk to the kitchen, and go bake this cake.
