Base recipe is from “Savor Mobile” cookbook benefiting Covenant Hospice
1 C. brown sugar
1 ¼ C. granulated sugar
1 ¼ C. vegetable oil
4 eggs
1 (16 oz.) can pumpkin (not pie filling)
3 C. sifted or cake flour
1 tsp salt
3 tsp. baking soda
3 ½ tsp. cinnamon
1 tsp. nutmeg
½ tsp. allspice
½ tsp. ginger
½ C. chopped pecans (optional)
In a large mixing bowl, combine sugars, oil, and eggs. Beat for 2 minutes on medium speed; add pumpkin, mix well. Sift together flour, salt, soda and spices. Gradually blend into creamed mixture, beat 2 minutes at high speed. Stir in nuts. Pour into a greased and floured 10 inch tube or bundt pan. Bake at 350° for 60 to 65 minutes. Cool completely before glazing and serving.
Cinnamon Glaze
¼ C. melted butter
1 C. powdered sugar
½ teaspoon rum extract
½ tsp. cinnamon
Mix all ingredients until smooth and slightly runny so that it can be drizzled over the pound cake. You may find that you have to add a couple of drops of milk to thin the glaze, or heat in microwave for 10 – 15 seconds.
