Lauren's YUMMY Pumpkin Cake

I know I haven't cooked with ya'll in a while. I just made this for some dear friends and was emailing her the recipes and decided to add it to this cool blog of ours. Enjoy!

This recipe is from a girl that I used to babysit for, oh that makes me feel old. I had it at my precious Grandmothers funeral and everyone was raving about it. I asked Lauren for it and she shared-thank goodness! It might be similar to something you've had but it is quick, easy and yummy! The icing make a ton so fair warning-personally with this cake thick icing is best but even still I have quite a bit leftover. Okay onto the recipe:)
