I'll admit - I was a doubter. I don't mind pumpkin. I'm definitely not an "OMG it's autumn; time for pumpkin spiced everything" person. I'll eat a pumpkin muffin now and then if there are no other better options. Same for coffee/espresso flavored goods. I like some coffee with my milk in the morning.

I visibly cringed when I first read the name of this recipe. "Why would anyone in their right mind think that's a good combination?", I wondered. I was wrong. This. Cake. Is. Amazing. I have no idea what kind of witchcraft makes this cake work, but it does. I had multiple slices. Chose it over chocolate and lemon options (my usual faves). So moist. So good. I don't understand it, but it's my go-to recipe when I need to bake for someone's fall "pumpkin spice" fix.
