MIKA'S KABOCHA CAKE (PUMPKIN CAKE)

Mika's Kabocha Cake (Pumpkin Cake) image

Very healthy and easy to make. The natural sweetness comes from the pumpkin and honey. The recipe makes a very small cake because I only had a little bit of leftover pumpkin. Created this primarily for Mom, who's watching her weight but loves cake.
