Comments: I always wanted to bake a cake from scratch and when I saw this recipe online, I decided to give it a shot. I am so glad I did because it was delicious! It was the perfect cake to bring to a chilly football tailgate! 

Ingredients:

2 cups white sugar

1 1/4 cups vegetable oil

1 tsp vanilla extract

2 cups canned pumpkin

4 eggs

2 cups all purpose flour

3 tsp baking powder

2 tsp baking soda

1/4 tsp salt

2 tsp ground cinnamon

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350. Grease and flour Bundt pan. Sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon. In a large mixing bowl combine the sugar and oil. Blend in vanilla and pumpkin, then beat in eggs one at a time (eggs are best at room temperature for cakes). Gradually beat in flour mixture. Spread batter into pan. Bake in preheated oven for 40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean. Once cake has completely cooled top with a cream cheese icing of your choice!
