--------  ------------  --------------------------------
  8       tb           Butter, softened
  1       c            Brown sugar
  2 1/2   c            Sifted cake flour
    1/2   ts           Salt
  2 1/2   ts           Baking powder
  2                    Eggs
    1/3   ts           Baking soda
    3/4   c            Buttermilk
  1       t            Ground cinnamon
    1/3   ts           Ground allspice
    1/3   ts           Ground ginger
  1 3/4   c            Pumpkin puree
    2/3   c            Pecans, finely chopped
  1       c            Heavy cream
  1       t            Confectioners sugar
    1/2   ts           Vanilla extract

 Cream the butter and brown sugar together until light
 and fluffy. Add the eggs, one at a time, blending well
 after each addition. Sift the flour, baking powder,
 baking soda, salt, cinnamon, allspice, and ginger
 together twice. Add the sifted flour and spices to the
 egg mixture, then add the buttermilk and mix well. Add
 the pureed pumpkin and the chopped pecans and blend
 thoroughly, scraping the sides and bottom of the bowl
 to ensure proper mixing.  Divide the batter equally
 between two buttered and floured layer-cake pans and
 bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for approximately
 25 minutes, or until a tester inserted through the
 center comes out clean. Cool the layers for 10
 minutes. Remove them from the pans and place them in
 the refrigerator for 45 minutes, or until cold. Whip
 the cream, vanilla extract and confectioners sugar
 together until peaks form. Place first layer of cake
 on cake platter, cover with half of the whipped cream.
 Place other cake layer on top and finish frosting cake
 with remaining whipped cream.
