RECIPE: Clifton's Pumpkin Cake--Janie/1000 Oaks
Recipe from the Los Angeles Times (Fall 1984)
3 cups sugar
3 cups flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 tablespoon baking soda
1 tablespoon cinnamon
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups oil
3 1/4 cups canned pumpkin
4 eggs, slightly beaten
Cream Cheese Frosting (see recipe following)
Beat together sugar, flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt in mixer at medium speed until well mixed. Add oil and
continue to beat until dry ingredients are moistened. Add pumpkin and mix again until well blended. Add slightly beaten eggs and blend 1 minute longer. Do not overmix.
Turn batter into 3 lightly greased, paper-lined 9-inch cake pans. Smooth batter out in pans with spatula so cake will be level
when baked.
Bake at 325 degrees F 40 minutes or until done. Cool on racks, then turn out and fill and frost with Cream Cheese Frosting.
Makes 1 (3-layer) cake.
