How to Toast Nuts

Toasting nuts before using them in a recipe intensifies their flavor. Spread the nuts on a baking sheet and bake at 350° for 5 to 10 minutes or until lightly toasted. Be sure to watch them carefully so they don't burn.

It's a good cake! I kept forgetting about the pumpkin because the 'spice' overpowered that flavor. But I Love This Cake! I ate the whole thing!! (it only took 4 days!)
