Pumpkin Cake ~ the best!!

2 cups flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
a little bit of allspice to taste (optional)
4 eggs
1 2/3 cups sugar
1 cup oil
1 pound canned pumpkin

Combine dry ingredients (first 6) and wet ingredients (last 4) together separately. Add the wet stuff to the dry stuff, and stir together. Next, bake in a GREASED 9x13 inch pan at 350 degrees for 25-30 minutes. This cake is delicious with homemade cream cheese frosting. See next line for the recipe.

8 ounces soft cream cheese
1/2 cup soft butter
1 box confectionery sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup chopped nuts (optional)

Cream the cream cheese and the butter together. Now add the sugar and the vanilla. Next, if you chose to use nuts, either blend them in or sprinkle them on top of your frosted cake. Enjoy!!

I had this cake when I was staying at a friend's house when I was probably about 5 or 6. I have had it for every birthday I've had since! Thank you, Mrs. T!!
