Sally Blake's Pumpkin Cake

I think of Sally Blake every autumn.  That happy, nicely dressed, pleasant gal who sat at the front desk of the company I worked for.  One day she brought in some pumpkin cake with cream cheese frosting which was TO DIE FOR.  She graciously shared her recipe and now, 17 years later, I make her delicious Pumpkin Cake when the weather starts to turn.  I've often thought about Sally and wondered where she is today.  She has no idea I think of her every year.  I shared the recipe with my sister and now she, too, makes Sally Blake's Pumpkin Cake every year.  We love Sally Blake.

This recipe is incredibly easy and is a GROUP FAVORITE! It does not dissapoint!  You will be making Sally Blakes Pumpkin Cake for your friends and family for years to come. 
Thank you Sally Blake, wherever you are!!
