Purple-Ribbon Pumpkin Cake image

I belong to a Christmas village collectors' club and we all bring a potluck dish to our monthy meetings. The cake is always a hit. It's one of my family's favorite Thanksgiving desserts, too, and disappears before the pumpkin pie does. -Debby Powers, Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida
