 Pumpkin Ginger Cake

  • Sometimes I want a cake that is not fussy or complicated to make.
  • I want that cake to be moist.
  • The cake also has to have visual appeal because we all know that we eat with our eyes first.
  • Also, it has to be delicious.  Ok, I want it all; and this cake fits the bill.
