PUMPKIN NUT CAKE

MY RECIPE BOX

Posted on November 13, 2011 by The Southern Lady

Pumpkin is one of my favorite foods. This cake is so moist and good, you won’t be able to leave it alone. The nutmeg frosting only adds to the wonderful flavor.

3 eggs

1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin

3/4 cup oil

1 1/2 cups sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla flavoring

2 cups all-purpose flour

1/2 teaspoon salt

2 teaspoons baking powder

2 teaspoons cinnamon

1 cup walnut pieces

Cream eggs, pumpkin, oil, sugar, and vanilla with mixer. Whisk together flour, salt, baking powder and cinnamon and add to pumpkin mixture mixing well with mixer. Fold in nuts. Spray a 9 x 13 baking dish, add cake mixture. Bake in preheated 350 degree oven 35 to 40 minutes until cake is done in center. Let cool before frosting.

Nutmeg Frosting

1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened

1 stick butter or margarine, softened

2 cups confectionery sugar

1 teaspoon nutmeg

1 teaspoon vanilla flavoring

Beat with mixer until spreading consistency. Spread on cooled cake.

I promise you, if you like pumpkin, you will love this moist, delicious cake!

Enjoy!

Good Morning!
I will sure try this recipe this week. I have all the makings on hand.
Just a tip for all the Girls out there, pumpkin is pretty expensive these days but after the Holidays, Walmart and Sams puts the big cans on Sale! Last year I bought 12 cans from Sams for 33 cents each.
Just a little tip. Hope they do that again.
Happy Baking!! Darlene

  Thanks so much for the tip Darlene! I go to Sams a lot and will certainly check this out after Thanksgiving. I use pumpkin all year and love it. Have a great day.

Your pumpkin cake looks so moist and the cream cheese frosting is always a winner. I’m craving a piece right now!

  Tammy, I use Canola oil in most everything that calls for oil. That is what is in this cake, too. Have a great week.

It sounds great enough and then you go and frost it with that. My goodness!

I saw this cake earlier today and have not been able to get it out of my mind. My mouth has been watering all through “Puss In Boots”, early dinner with our kids, and has drawn my attention away from tv tonight.

I’m going to try it out and take one down to my daughter’s house when we visit. The icing put me over the edge.
