Pumpkin Bundt Cake

As promised, I'm posting the recipe for the pumpkin bundt cake I made on Sunday.

Interesting story:

It's only been recently that I've started eating pumpkin. I hated it growing up and even into my adult years. Then the fall that I was pregnant with the twins, I craved pumpkin. My mom made pumpkin bread and I know I ate quite a lot. Mmmm......
So, that's when I started eating pumpkin. Silly story but now you know! lol On to the recipe.........
