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.

How to Make Pumpkin Cake

Step-by-Step

1Sift all dry ingredients together.
2Beat eggs with sugar until fluffy. Add oil, then pumpkin.
3Add sifted dry ingredients and stir just until mixed.
4Bake in a greased and floured tube pan at 350 for about an hour.
5You 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.
6Cream Cheese Frosting: Mix all ingredients together with an electric mixer and spread all over cake.
