A Spicy Variation of Grandmère Casavant's Pumpkin Cake

It's an honour when you are given a family recipe. This Pumpkin cake recipe is a variation of Grandmère Cassavant's recipe. It's rich, moist and contains enough fiber to be a healthy breakfast cake. The variations are made as sometimes we have to adapt to what's in our pantry (and what you can fit in the cabinets). I thought the cyan pepper would give a kick to the cake! The result is quite agreeable. Make a batch with my variations if you want to be a little daring or follow Grandmère Casavant's recipe for plenty of traditional goodness.
