Pumpkin pie recipes and pumpkin cake are simple and delicious.
The following flavorful and moist pumpkin cake recipe is one of my favorites.

1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 c buttermilk

Combine wet and dry ingredients separately. Then gradually add dry ingredient mixture to wet ingredients.
Add to a prepared pan, either two 8 inch pans or one 13 x 9 inch pan.
Bake for about 25 minutes or til center is firm.

Cool. Then finish with a lemon drizzle or lemon frosting.
