Pumpkin Cake
Description
Perfect with tea and coffee. While Americans have been baking all kinds of pumpkin pies and cakes for many decades (and perhaps even centuries), in Russia and other post-Soviet countries people make anything from pumpkin—except cakes. And that's a shame: pumpkin cake is a real treat. It's very hard to put the richness of pumpkin cake flavor into words; you have to taste it. So go ahead and try it—a simple pumpkin cake recipe will help you with that :) The baking is done. Serve and enjoy.
