What's the secret ingredient in these cakes? Pudding mix. It not only adds flavor but it gives the cake a richer, creamier texture. No one will know your secret ingredient!
Pumpkins aren't just for pies or Halloween decorations. These large, orange gourds - while naturally sweet - also work well in savory dishes. They pair well with poultry and pork (and especially bacon) and their creamy-when-cooked texture blends easily into soups.

My family loves this recipe! It is very easy to make, and is great hot or cold. I use fresh, lightly steamed broccoli instead of frozen. I also use surimi (imitation crab meat, also called Krab). I also use 1 TBL butter and 2 TBL olive oil because I think it is healthier and tastes great. I would highly recommend this simple recipe.
