Happy Healthy Valentines Day: The Whole Lotta Love Kapha Cake

Whole Lotta Love Cake- and it really is,

Because it is still kapha season- we make this non-traditional pumpkin-molasses cake.

I usually don't add icing to the cakes-but the kids were feeling icing deprived.  Most of the time, I make up plain whip cream and add it to the top of the cake when I serve it.  I am contemplating writing a cookbook sometime next year after I am finished promoting my book "Beyond Natural Cures" - this will definitely be apart of it.  Here is the recipe for those who need it now : )

All Ingredients- farm fresh, organic and homemade....the sugar value is slightly sweet

1.5 cups white bread flour

1 cup freshly ground red winter wheat, barley and millet mix

1 Tsp baking powder

3/4 Tsp baking soda

1/2 cp mashed pumpkin
