Sour Cream Pumpkin Cake (T&T)
I always make this cake for thanksgiving. It is very delicious and tasty. I often serve it with a dollop of fresh whipped cream flavored with a dash of cinnamon. I have also made this recipe using mini loaf pans to give out during the holidays. Hope everyone who tries it will enjoy it as much as we do.

Glaze
- 1 1/2 cups sifted confectioners' sugar

- Gradually beat in flour mixture and mix well.
- Spoon half of the batter into prepared pan.
- Sprinkle with streusel mixture over batter (do not allow the streusel to touch edges of pan).
- Bake for 55 to 60 minutes or until cake tester inserted in cake comes out clean.
- Cool for 30 minutes in pan on a wire rack.
- Invert cake onto wire rack to cool completely.
- In a small bowl, add all glaze ingredients stirring until smooth with a wire whisk.

Notes
If making mini loaves, bake approximately 20 to 25 minutes, depending on your oven.
