We loved the pumpkin-y taste. Very moist. We just bought regular cream cheese frosting from the grocery store.

i baked this cake two times and each time the cake never fully rose. the only thing i add to the mix was a bit of sour cream (which i do all the time to many of my cake recipes) does anyone have any ideas what happened here?
