Healthy Pumpkin Cake
"You will love this moist and rich pumpkin cake. You don’t have to wait until fall to enjoy the pumpkin spice flavor. You can enjoy this cake all year round. It’s great on a regular day or on special occasions. You can omit the ground nutmeg and ground ginger if you don’t like those spices. If you are adventurous then you can add a vanilla frosting to your pumpkin cake. Or, to add another element, you can add 1/2 cup of raisins."
NotesThis spiced cake will be a big hit with your friends, especially if you pair it with some rosé wines. Pick wines that have a light and citrusy flavor.
