PUMPKIN SPICE POUND CAKE

This is an easy cake that mixes up in next to no time. Adapted from Lauren Chattman's recipe. I recommend making this recipe in the food processor; the texture does not come out quite right any other way. You can add ground cloves or other spices, or substitute pumpkin pie spice for the spices mentioned.

  • Let the cake cool completely before glazing it. This will help the glaze set properly.
  • Serve the cake with whipped cream or ice cream. This will make the cake even more delicious.
