Mine is pumpkin pie!!!!

But I also love pumpkin bread, baked pumpkin seeds, and pumpkin cookies too!

There really is nothing to compare to the smell of a pumpkin pie in the oven, except maybe apple pie:p

Anyone ever have pumpkin soup? I am going to try a soup that KYH gave me the recipe for! I just know it will be great!

Pumpkin/Maple Bundt

2 c. flour
2 t. baking powder
1/2 t. baking soda
2 t. ground cinnamon
1/4 t. freshly grated nutmeg
pinch of salt
1 1/2 t. grated fresh ginger (or 1 teaspoon ground ginger)
10 T. butter (1-1/4 sticks), at room temperature
1 c. granulated sugar
1/2 c. packed light brown sugar
2 eggs, at room temperature
1 t. pure vanilla extract
1 1/4 c. canned unsweetened pumpkin puree
1 large apple, peeled, cored and finely grated
1 c. cranberries, halved or coarsely chopped
1 c. pecans, coarsely chopped

MAPLE SYRUP ICING (OPTIONAL)
6 T. confectioners' sugar
1 T. butter, melted
2 - 2 1/2 T. maple syrup

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Butter 9- to 10-inch bundt pan.

In mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt and ground ginger. Set aside.

In bowl of electric mixer cream butter, granulated sugar and brown sugar at medium speed until light and fluffy. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating for 1 minute after each addition. Beat in vanilla.

Reduce mixer speed to low. Add pumpkin and grated apple. (Note: Mixture may look curdled; that's OK.) On low speed, add dry ingredients, mixing only until incorporated. Using rubber spatula, stir in cranberries and pecans. Scrape batter into pan. Smooth top with rubber spatula.

Bake 60-70 minutes or until thin knife inserted into center of cake comes out clean. Transfer cake to rack. Cool for 10 minutes. Unmold. Cool to room temperature on rack.

TO PREPARE MAPLE-SYRUP ICING:
Sift confectioners' sugar into bowl. Stir in 2 tablespoons maple syrup. Add more maple syrup, little by little, until icing runs nicely off tip of spoon. (Note: Add up to 1/2 tablespoon syrup to get to right consistency.

Put cooled cake on wax paper. Drizzle icing from tip of spoon over cake. Let icing set for a few minutes before serving.

I like pumpkin spice cookies.

Hey Kev that sounds wunderfuullll I shall call my cake "Kevins Bundt"! I loved the movie "My Big Fat Greek Wedding" it was so hilarious when they were trying to figure out the Bundt, and when the Grooms parents got tipsy on the Oozo!!! I split a side laughing!!!
