This was great but I did adjust the recipe. First, I used fresh pureed pumpkin and a dash each of cloves and ginger; I also replaced half the oil with applesauce and added one whole chopped apple. Finally I decreased the sugar by half a cup and substituted it with 1 heaping tablespoon of black strap molassas. Instead of the icing, I ate it with whipped cream, powdered sugar or ice cream. This cake came out of the oven super moist and delicious.
