this tastes very much like a carrot cake, but with pumpkin. it's super delicious and makes a pretty big number of squares. (I think i'll get 24 or so.)
ReplyDeletei did substitute 1/2 c. applesauce for half of the oil and used lite cream cheese in the frosting. i think it's still very tasty.
as i gave this recipe to becky, i can promise it is easy to make and gets lots of raves. a great way to use pumpkin during the holidays and not have that gross pumpkin pie after taste.
