This is a fast, easy, one-bowl, no mixer pumpkin cake recipe that everyone loves. When you’re sitting around the house craving a piece of Starbucks pumpkin bread, you need to make this cake instead. It has a ton more flavor and it’s so easy.  It’s a spinoff of this Pumpkin Spice Cake With Cream Cheese Frosting. Which is a spinoff from a pumpkin cake recipe in my second cookbook, Cooking With Pumpkin. It’s a recipe that has been around the block and it’s always a crowd pleaser. It’s great on chilly fall mornings with a cup of coffee or tea, served at a casual brunch, or as an easy-breezy fall dessert to serve when you’re entertaining but don’t want to slave over dessert. Yet it still tastes like a million bucks, no frosting needed.
