   This year in Science/History we are studying Countries and Cultures. Right now we are studying about the good ole US of A. So yesterday in our book "Trip Around the World", we were supposed to choose one recipe of "American" food to make. Out of the 4 options,  Danny & Tamara both wanted to try the New England Pumpkin Cake.

   Here are the results.....

  

  We ate it last evening with ice cream...it was very, very yummy!!

  

  One of the moistest cakes I've ever had!!

  

   So if you want to try it, here's the recipe:
