A Great Pumpkin Cake for the Holidays
These are a Few of Our Favorite Things...
We love a cake that is moist and flavorful but not too sweet. This week we share with you Mrs Raymond Schenk's Pumpkin Cake Recipe.
We never met Mrs. Schenk, but she gave the recipe to our friend Daniel Longhi's mother, Gloria Longhi, back in the 1960's.
It was a treasured family recipe for the Longhi's for all this time and we are glad that Dan has shared it with us this year. (In its entirety, right down to the baking instructions!)
