Hello Adlandpro,

Well just one more day till Thanksgiving day.  I know a lot of you will be traveling, so drive safely. 

 Some will be visiting relatives in other city's, some will be busy cooking, and some will be working as I shall be.

To make a long story short, I would simply like to wish you a Happy Thanksgiving and a safe one.

 

Blessings,

Beryl

Here is a secret. I've never baked a pie!  So I won't be making Pumpkin Pie this year.  But I do bake GREAT cakes!  Here's a yummy  recipe: Pumpkin Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting.

INGREDIENTS

• 2 cups white sugar
• 1 1/4 cups vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 cups canned pumpkin
• 4 eggs
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 3 teaspoons baking powder
• 2 teaspoons baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 1 cup chopped walnuts (optional)

DIRECTIONS

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 12x18 inch pan. Sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and cinnamon. Set aside.
2. In a large bowl combine sugar and oil. Blend in vanilla and pumpkin, then beat in eggs one at a time. Gradually beat in flour mixture. Stir in nuts. Spread batter into prepared 12x18 inch pan.
3. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Allow to cool.
