Pumpkin Cake

                               Happy Halloween

My seventh recipe for October is the very yummy Pumpkin Cake. Here are all of the ingredients you will need to collect before getting started.

1 cup vegetable oil

3 eggs

1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin puree

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 1/2 cups white sugar

2 1/2 cups self-rising flour

1 teaspoon ground nutmeg

1 teaspoon ground allspice

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1 teaspoon ground cloves

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/4 cup chopped nuts

And here is how you put all of those ingredients together to make the delicious Pumpkin Cake.

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease one 10 inch bunt or tube pan.
2. Cream oil, beaten eggs, pumpkin and vanilla together.
3. Sift the flour, sugar, ground nutmeg, ground allspice, ground cinnamon, ground cloves and salt together. Add the flour mixture to the pumpkin mixture and mix until just combined. If desired, stir in some chopped nuts. Pour batter into the prepared pan.
4. Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 1 hour or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean. Let cake cool in pan for 5 minutes then turn out onto a plate and sprinkle with confectioners' sugar.
