Of course, just as I start getting back into the swing of things, I go away for a few days, but there will be lots to post here when I get back.Anyway, I managed another magazine recipe for the week, which is a record: two in seven days is not the norm, as we all know. In fact, it's two in four days to be precise. Well, it was Canadian Thanksgiving here on the weekend so I made a nice dessert to take to a friend's for dinner on Sunday night, and since I have a ton of pumpkin in my freezer, and there was a special pumpkin section in the Oct. 2010 issue of Canadian Living, I just had to take advantage of all these planets aligning for me.
The recipe for the Pumpkin Pecan Bundt Cake I made is here.
OMG - this was so fantastic I barely have words. It was a huge hit, and I even had enough left over from Sunday night's dinner to serve my dad for dessert at our own little Thanksgiving celebration last night. He doesn't like pumpkin that much and even he loved it! This cake was really moist and flavourful, and the crunch of the pecans was wonderful. It was perfectly spiced. I didn't make the rum glaze, but instead served this with some sweetened whipped cream and some caramel sauce I've had hanging out in my fridge for ages. It was perfect!Definitely a keeper!

Clearly I have to try this recipe as I've seen it popping up in a few places. Looks delicious!
Oh yum - this looks delicious. We don't celebrate Thanksgiving in New Zealand, but who needs an excuse for a cake like this?!
