Shhh.... don't tell Starbucks but their pumpkin craze has NOTHING on this fall beverage! Rich and creamy- it is perfect to serve on a cool fall evening around a fire, or with friends or just because! A friend shared this recipe with me several years ago and it has become a tradition to make at least once before the hustle and bustle of the holidays! Cheers!

The cool weather the last few days have really gotten me in the mood for all things fall- especially mouth watering desserts and drinks that feature the tastes of the season! Today one of my friends asked that I share one of my favorite pumpkin recipes and I immediately thought of this cake!
As an Agriculture Teacher and FFA Advisor, fall also means that National Convention is just around the corner! It is an amazing site to see 56,000 of our nation's best and brightest gather in their blue corduroy jackets- and the pride and enthusiasm they have for the agriculture industry! Several years ago, while walking through the FFA Career Show, I picked up a handout from an Indiana Egg Cooperative that had the following recipe featured in it, and had to try it when I got home! It was love at first bite! I was so proud and excited that I made one to take to my Grandma (who is a wonderful cook and fabulous baker) who laughed and pulled out the same recipe from her recipe box that she had discovered the week before! I hope that you and your family enjoy this easy dessert as much as we have!
