Semi-Homemade...Called Pumpkin Love...

It was one of THOSE days today...you know...THOSE days.  Hard to win for losing...*grinning*...
So it was a perfect excuse to bake something I saw while blogging over at SimplyDesigning.   

It was one of THOSE days continued when I came home with a can of only 19 oz of pumpkin pie filling and I needed 30 oz.

AND can you imagine the store didn't have a box of yellow cake mix???!  I couldn't. 
So I bought butter pecan instead.  It sounded like it would go quite nicely with pumpkin and spices.   I am apparently good at improvising and even weighed out 1/2 package of cake mix.
I ended up with an 8"x8" pan of yum instead of the called for 9"x13".  But it worked!

It came out of the oven looking so fine....
I could hardly wait until it cooled off to try it with a dallop of whipped cream...let me tell you...it was soooo good. It has a wonderful spice flavour and light.  Ashley's pictures are better than mine.

I'll be up and out very early in the morning to drive to the cottage on Lake Ontario, NY side.  Marc is going to be so happy to see what I've brought...besides myself.  :o)

I think this will be shared again at Thanksgiving this year our way.
Have a wonderful weekend .....Judi xoxo
