Pumpkin bundt cake

And so here it comes one of the best seasons of the year; plus my birthday is just around the corner, the heat of the summer slowly starts to fade away and the holidays start to make an entrance. One of the best memories I have from this season (which most of them are of me in the kitchen with my mom and sister) is when my mom spent a whole day baking sweet bread with pumpkin; To do this she first had to cook the pumpkin which impregnated the whole house with a wonderful smell, one that I can always recognize and miss and one that causes flashbacks to those autumn days. 

Talking about my birthday, I should say I don’t really enjoy making a big deal about it, I just wasn’t raised like that. But one thing I did grew up thinking of as a tradition in our family is always eating cake that day and taking a picture with it, so that my mom can print it and keep it in a photo album in which she has pictures of her children from every birthday to this day. I’m currently 24 years old and we are 4 siblings, go figure. I have now started a new tradition, of making a new flavor cake for my birthday each year, so there are lots of flavors left to try. 

Pumpkin bread

I haven’t just yeat decided what flavor this year’s cake will be, perhaps I will be tempted to make a pumpkin cake like this recipe we are now sharing. More so than a cake this is an extremly soft and fluffy pound cake that, just like any good fall dessert or sweet, is well seasoned with the spices of the season like cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger. Here you have the recipe, with all our love and all our good memories.
