Pumpkin Cake
The bad thing about my surgery
for weight loss is....
it does not help with
cravings.
I have continued to crave all
those great foods with sugar in
them!
Yesterday I was craving something
sweet. Normally I will just buy
a piece of candy but
I really prefer cakes more
then candy.
Looking on Pinterest I
found a cake I wanted to make.
I like simple, I like the dump
cakes. I was looking for a cake
that would let me use
pumpkin pie mix, which I bought
by accident
when I was grabbing for puree
pumpkin.
I found a cake that called
for puree
pumpkin so I decided
to use the pie mix instead.
Yellow cake mix
16 oz pumpkin mix
mix together on med speed
for 2 mins.
Bake at 350 till done
While that is cooking mix
up a cup of powdered sugar
2 tablespoons apple cider
( I did not have this so I used
mango/peach juice)
and a teaspoon of pumpkin pie
spices.
Remove cake from oven.
Pour mixture over the top...
Oh my goodness.....
YUMMY!
Taking some home, will share with
mom and leaving the rest here at
my brothers house.
Going home today from my week
of house/dog/bird sitting.
I usually stay here for a week
at a time. Since my Ray and
Lori will have a 5 hour drive
I like to have them a meal
waiting. The week before
coming here I made chili
and froze it, ham and green
bean casserole, froze that.
I brought that up here and
put in the freezer for them.
I always usually leave a gift
also....I left this.
Handmade sign and
stuffed cloth pumpkins.
Now I need to strip the bed,
remake it with clean sheets and
wash these.
Later folks.
Thanks for stopping in,

ps...I know what you mean about the Falls in Georgia and Tennessee. Nel said they are gorgeous in Georgia. I really would love to see it. Be sure to post some pics
of Fall around your area. It starts a little later than ours here.
Love your gift. Have a good weekend, Diane
The fall sign is cute. Have a happy day and weekend!
