Pumpkin Cake with Cinnamon Cream Cheese Frosting
Is everyone up to their ears in Pumpkin recipes? Are you looking forward to some
great festive recipes? Ha. Truth be told. I could eat all things pumpkin all year round.
I get a little sad when they stop selling pumpkin spice lattes at Starbucks. But, I do
adore Gingerbread lattes. This is a basic recipe that I have been making for years and
it's so delish. I hope you all are having a wonderful Thanksgiving.
I'm very thankful for my family, friends and I'm thankful for all of you!!!
