Recipe Introduction

This is one of my favorite cakes to bake. It is very moist and freezes beautifully. Even though the original recipe called for this cake to be iced, I have yet to do it. It tastes just as good with or without it, or even with a little sprinkling of confectioners' sugar over the top.

List of Ingredients

1. Combine:

1 1/2 c. sugar
1/2 c. firmly packed brown sugar
2 t. cinnamon
2 t. baking soda
1/2 t. salt
1/4 t. nutmeg
1/4 t. ginger
1 c. canola oil
1/2 t. pure vanilla extract
4 eggs OR 1 c. Egg Beaters

2. Add, 1/2 cup at a time, beating after each addition:

2 c. sifted flour

3. Mix in:

1 (16 oz.) can of pumpkin ** see note

4. By hand, stir in:

1 large Granny Smith apple, peeled and chopped
1/2 c. chopped pecans
handful of Craisins

5. Pour into a greased and floured Bundt pan.

6. Bake for 70 minutes in a 350 degree (F) oven.

7. Let cool in the pan for 20 minutes.

8. Remove to a wire rack and let cool completely.

9. If desired, prepare icing by combining:

1/2 c. softened butter
8 oz. softened cream cheese
2 t. pure vanilla extract

10. Stir in:

3 1/2 c. sifted confectioners' sugar

11. Beat until light and fluffy.

12. Frost cake with icing.

** Note: Use canned pumpkin, NOT pumpkin pie mix.
