Pumpkin Cake

Ok, so it's 80 degrees here, but I'm really in the mood for fall. And my favorite thing EVER in the fall is anything pumpkin. I made pumpkin bars for the first time a few weeks ago, but I've been craving pumpkin cake. 

This recipe is seriously the best- moist and warm, topped with creamy cream cheese frosting. A great way to welcome fall!
