Growing up in New England I always loved the fall. Living in Florida is always hard at this time of year because I miss going apple picking and seeing the leaves change color. Missing the fall has inspired me to bake and cook fall themed foods. This recipe is from my Mother's friend Peggy Pine.

  • 4 eggs
  • 2 cups of sugar
  • 1 can of pumpkin 15 oz
  • 3/4 cup of soft butter or margarine

The Frosting
