Happy Thanksgiving!! 

I should have posted this delicious recipe a few days ago but you can always make it tomorrow.  You will not be disappointed in this cake.  It was so moist and dense, just perfection.  Not too pumpkiny just perfect.  I made this for a dinner with friends on Monday night and brought the rest to work on Tuesday.
