Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method -- -- --

8 tb Butter, softened

1 c Brown sugar

2 1/2 c Sifted cake flour

1/2 ts Salt

2 1/2 ts Baking powder

2 Eggs

1/3 ts Baking soda

3/4 c Buttermilk

1 t Ground cinnamon

1/3 ts Ground allspice

1/3 ts Ground ginger

1 3/4 c Pumpkin puree

2/3 c Pecans, finely chopped

1 c Heavy cream

1 t Confectioners sugar

1/2 ts Vanilla extract

Cream the butter and brown sugar together until light

and fluffy. Add the eggs, one at a time, blending well

after each addition. Sift the flour, baking powder,

baking soda, salt, cinnamon, allspice, and ginger

together twice. Add the sifted flour and spices to the

egg mixture, then add the buttermilk and mix well. Add

the pureed pumpkin and the chopped pecans and blend

thoroughly, scraping the sides and bottom of the bowl

to ensure proper mixing. Divide the batter equally

between two buttered and floured layer-cake pans and bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for approximately

25 minutes, or until a tester inserted through the

center comes out clean. Cool the layers for 10

minutes. Remove them from the pans and place them in

the refrigerator for 45 minutes, or until cold. Whip

the cream, vanilla extract and confectioners sugar

together until peaks form. Place first layer of cake

on cake platter, cover with half of the whipped cream.

Place other cake layer on top and finish frosting cake

with remaining whipped cream.
