Happy Thanksgiving!  I got some mail requesting that I repost my
Pumpkin Chip Cake recipe (with credit to my cousin, Nikki Plaut)


	PUMPKIN CHIP CAKE

4 eggs
1 small can of pumpkin, or half a large one (NOT pie filling)
1 cup oil
2 cups sugar
3 cups flour
2 tsp baking soda
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp cinnamon
6 oz chocolate chips
1/2 cup chopped nuts

Combine all ingredients, using the order specified by your method of
implementation (I used a food processor).  There's quite a bit of batter,
so use a very large bowl.  

Bake in a large tube pan at 350 F for 1 to 1 1/4 hours.  Use the toothpick
test to make sure the cake is done - the only thing that should come off on
the toothpick is melted chocolate, not batter.

Melt another 6 oz of chocolate chips and drizzle over cake, if you desire.
The cake is pretty rich.

	Enjoy!
