My friend, Tiffany Gear gave me this recipe some years ago at Hume. I didn't use to like pumpkin, but after having this cake, I changed my mind. I think the butter sauce may have had something to do with it.
31/2 cups flour
3 cups sugar
1/2 t. baking powder
2 t. baking soda
1 1/2 t. salt
1 1/2 t. ground cinnamon
1/2 t. ground cloves
1/2 t. ground nutmeg
1 cup butter
2/3 cup water
2 cups pmpkin
2 eggs
1/2 cup chopped pecans
Beat ingredients together for 2 minutes. Generously grease a bundt pan. Bake 350 degrees for about one hour. Cool and then flip onto a plate
Butter Sauce
2 cups sugar
1 cup butter
2 cups whipping cream
Cook in a pot for 10 minutes, stirring so it doesn't scald.
Remove from stove and add 1 t. vanilla
Slice the cake and pour butter sauce over each slice and serve immediately.
This is a dessert to enjoy with a nice cup of coffee and a friend on a rainy fall day.
