I made these today just like the recipe said and they are AMAZING!!! I used a smaller pan and baked for 25 minutes and it made a really moist and fabulous cake!! I am adding this to the recipes that I will make again and again. Thanks for sharing!!

I made this recipe twice as directed except left out the cranberries, used a 13"x9" pan and baked it for about 25 minutes. The resulting pumpkin cake squares were absolutely scrumptious and were served to two different women's groups entertained in my home. They were an absolute hit and knowing they came from The Old Farmer's Almanac gave them an additional touch of downhome-ness. Thank you for a new favorite! Julie in the Berkshires of MA
