Pumpkin Cake

 Hannah (California) says:
This recipe was very good. However I made a double batch and altered it. I added:

3/8 tsp. red pepper (I didn't have ginger, but I would add it as the recipe says and some)
1/4 tsp. cloves (maybe a bit more if you wish)
2 tbsp. cinnamon
1-1/4 tsp. nutmeg
I toasted a 1/4 cup of the butter and simply added it to the sugar and butter mixture.
1 tbsp. vanilla
1/4 cup extra pumpkin
1 1/2 tsp baking soda
1 1/2 cup butter milk
I made a 3 layer cake with cream cheese and butterscotch fillings with a vanilla icing.

Delectable pumpkin spice cake! I hope this was helpful, ENJOY!!
