Sonna, a teacher's aide at Woodham High School, used to bake this cake for us at Thanksgiving every year. It's easy and oh, so very good! Of course, I like almost any cake with cream cheese frosting, and this one has it.

Ingredients

4 - eggs

2 teaspoons baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
2 cups granulated sugar
1 cup vegetable oil

How To Make pumpkin cake

Step 1

Sift all dry ingredients together.

Step 2

Beat eggs with sugar until fluffy. Add oil, then pumpkin.
Step 3

Add sifted dry ingredients and stir just until mixed.
Step 4

Bake in a greased and floured tube pan at 350 for about an hour.
Step 5

You can also bake this cake in layers. They'll take less time. Since I've never baked it in layers, I don't know exactly how long, though.
Step 6

Cream Cheese Frosting: Mix all ingredients together with an electric mixer and spread all over cake.
