Pumpkin Gooey Butter Cake
Making a Pumpkin Gooey Butter Cake
This is one of those recipes that you are going to fall in love with! The name fits the cake! Pumpkin Gooey Butter Cake, this will melt in your mouth! It is coming on to the time of year where we will be able to get us some fresh pumpkin. Working with fresh ingredients is always better. You can use canned pumpkin if you need to and it will still be a wonderful cake.
I still remember this time of year and every farmer around had pumpkins growing in the garden. The fields would be littered with orange! During a festival here in our home town of Barbourville Kentucky we have a festival called, “The Daniel Boone Festival “ . During the week of this festival the merchant windows will be filled with wonderful displays including pumpkins for decorations!
Go ahead and get hooked on this dessert. We posted another pumpkin cake on our blog called, “Pumpkin Crunch Cake “ . This is another recipe that will be added to your arsenal of recipes for fall and the holidays!
