8 Pumpkin Pound Cake and a Pumpkin Loving LINKY PARTY!

This Monday, I am hosting my first LINKY PARTY called Pumpkin Loving! :-) Link up with ANYTHING pumpkin related! :-) I have seen a TON of cute pumpkin decorating ideas and SO many pumpkin recipes! So be ready Monday to link up with all the pumpkin goodness you can think of! :-) 

Tonight, I made this pumpkin pound cake that I have seen ALL over pinterest! You might not recognize it because I dumped instead of dusted powdered sugar on it (requested by my husband:-) and because SOMEONE took the camera hunting so I apologize for the quality of the camera on my phone!! 

(I'll announce the winner of the cute pumpkin kitchen towel tomorrow! The giveaway ends at midnight!) 

Pumpkin Pound Cake
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup canola oil
3 eggs
3 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1 small package instant vanilla pudding mix
1 can (15 ounces) pumpkin puree
Confectioners’ sugar, for dusting
In a large bowl, combine sugar and oil until blended. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, cloves and pudding mix; add to egg mixture alternately with pumpkin, beating well after each addition.
Transfer to a greased bundt pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 60-65 minutes or until toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before inverting onto a wire rack. Remove from pan and cool completely. Dust with confectioners’ sugar. Serves 12-16.
