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.

I'm 66 yrs old from Boston. This recipe has been in my family about 45 yrs. My mom found it in the Boston Globe and this became our birthday cake recipe. Name of the cake was Mrs Rita Glombs Ring of Coconut Chocolate Cake. We used to skip the coconut part. Makes a very heavy but moist cake. Only need a sliver since it is so rich. And needed the largest mixing bowl I had .

I got this recipe from the newspaper more than 40 years ago, then misplaced it. This is a rich, moist, sure to be a hit cake for any occasion.

I love that this classic recipe doesn't use a cake mix but rather is completely from scratch. This is the way this cake should be made!! It's delicious. If you never have tried this cake before you really should. Also, a bundt pan is better than a tube pan for this in my opinion. It just adds more elegance to it.
