Pumpkin Spice Cake

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! I hope you all are having a wonderful day surrounded by family and friends! I know we will be celebrating with Matt's family. What are some traditions that you all enjoy every Thanksgiving? For my family it always depended on where we were in the world, however there was one thing that we almost always had and that was my moms Pumpkin Spice Cake. I believe that the recipe is from an ad for Holly Sugar (which is now Imperial Sugar).
