3 c Flour
1 tb Baking powder
2 ts Soda
2 ts Pumpkin pie spice
1 ts Salt
4 Eggs
1 c Sugar
1 c Light brown sugar; packed
16 oz Pureed pumpkin
Canned or fresh 1 c Oil
Glaze: 1 tb Butter

1 ds Salt

THE CAKE: Sift the flour, baking powder, soda, pumpkin pie spice and salt together; set aside. Beat the eggs until flothy; add the sugars. Beat until very thick. Stir in the pumpkin and oil, until smooth. Blend flour mixture thoroughly into the creamed mixture. Pour into a greased and floured 10″ tube pan. Bake in preheated 350~ oven for about one hour or until cake tester inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from the pan. Cool completely on a wire rack. Drizzle the glaze over the cake. THE CHOCOLATE GLAZE: Melt the butter and chocolate, in a small saucepan over low heat; stir in salt and vanilla. Add the confectioners’ sugar with enough milk to make the glaze thin enough to drizzle over the cake. Note: This cake will keep well for several months in the freezer. —–
