Something sweet and seasonal was happening in my kitchen this morning. Actually, two sweet things were happening. First and most importantly was my kitchen helper…
Secondly was…
I finally found my box of recipes that was buried under multitudes of other boxes still stacked in our kid’s basement…waiting our big move. (which will be next spring, hopefully!) Guess which recipe was smack on top? It makes sense since the last time I had my recipes with me was 2 years ago this fall. So I was cooking seasonal back then too!
It is my turn to provide treats at Bible study this evening. I briefly thought of bringing something healthy, but figured something sweet and unhealthy would be more of a treat!
In large mixing bowl put 3 eggs, 1 can pumpkin, 1 c. oil, 2 1/2 c. sugar, soda, salt, vanilla and1 teaspoon each of cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves. (I did not have any allspice) I also omitted the walnuts from the mix and added to the frosting instead.
Mix with electric hand mixer until well blended. Add flour and mix until just blended.
My little helper was eyeing my cake as I was photographing. (Notice little fingers ready to dip into batter)
Pour into oiled Bundt pan and bake in 350 oven for 55-60 minutes. Remove and place upside down on cooling rack. Drizzle with apple cider glaze and sprinkle with chopped nuts.
I sliced off a couple slices for my honey incase I don’t get to bring any home.

My sweet little helper…
Looks delicious! I will have to add this to my list of recipes. It looks like you had a great little helper
I can’t believe how big she is getting!!! So cute. And the cake looks wonderful! Can I join your Bible study?
Would love that Amanda! We are reading through the chronological New Testament! It is through Proverbs 31 ministry.
Watch out for those little fingers, they cause destruction quickly. =) Thanks for watching her and the cake was delicious.
My sis gave me your awesome blog site and I have thoroughly been enjoying the recipes and the detailed step by step pictures. The chicken squash soup was fantastic and yesterday I made the pumpkin bundt cake for a staff meeting and everyone raved over it-Since I have been making apple juice I have a lot of apple pulp so I used half pumpkin and apple pulp and worked great-I did notice in the type recipe of ingredients the oil was not listed but it was in the picture of recipe card so it was no problem. I am blessed with a husband that will try anything new so look forward to more recipes!
Mary, Thank-you for your kind words and visit to my blog! I am so glad you pointed out that I omitted the oil in the typed recipe! I will correct that right now! I am having fun with the blog and it gives me great inspiration to cook! God bless you and have a wonderful day!
