Notes
- Adapted from Paula Deen.
- Make sure you use pure pumpkin puree and NOT pumpkin pie filling for this recipe. Canned pumpkin pie filling contains sugar and other ingredients and will not work properly.
- This cake can be made up to 2 days before you plan to serve it. Store it covered in the refrigerator.
