In spite of the fact that I really don't like cooking, I actually baked this Chocolate Pumpkin Cake from the October issue of Country Living magazine (which I bought for my NY trip) and surprisingly it turned out! Every once in a while I catch Rachael Ray on TV and she makes cooking look easy and fun and I get a little inspired to try. It was my turn for the extended family Sunday Dinner; so I made a roast with potatoes and carrots - which always reminds me of Sunday dinner in my childhood. And I decided to try this cake, I liked that it had pumpkin in the chocolate cake, two of my favorite flavors and it looked so Halloweeny and festive. Well, it turned out pretty well and I'm quite proud of myself.

The dinner was excellent and the cake was tasty as well as elegant looking. You just need to have confidence in yourself.

You weren't kidding when you said it was a great cake! You did an excellent job! Cheers Janet. (I always seem to want to call you Nanajan. I know you aren't my nana, but it just is fitting!)
I eyed that cake in the magazine too. I was too chicken to try and bake it. Maybe I'll have to give it a try now.
