pumpkin cake with cranberry and pecan glaze
This recipe is super easy! The cake is moist and the topping is sweet and delicious. I like to use a bundt pan because the cake looks beautiful with the pecan and cranberry glaze dripping down the sides and onto the dish. My family loves this cake...I hope you will too! :)
