This time of year makes me so happy.  I love it when the seasons change and I have finally decided that autumn is my absolute favorite.  The changing colors of the leaves on the trees, cool crisp mornings along with warm boots and cozy sweaters are things I look forward to…but, then again, the smells and flavors of fall’s delicious foods are without question the best. That’s why I decided to kick off October with this delicious Pumpkin Cake.  It’s moist, with just the right about of warm spices.  Of course, topping it off with cream cheese icing that’s sweet with a little hint of citrus brings all the flavors together in just the right way.  Starting this fall season has never been so delicious.
