Well, it is embarrassing to say the least. At least I wasn't serving this cake to visitors. Ahhhh, enjoying a nice bit of pumpkin...crunch, crunch ....oh my, what was that? Did I miss a piece of egg shell? I don't think so. I mean, as many crunches that was in this cake, it would have been a big piece of shell.
I did use the top brand of canned pumpkin, so I can't blame it on the "off brand". Is it the nutmeg?
Next time, I will check the nutmeg...anyway, that kind of ruins the idea of a pumpkin cake or pie.
Any ideas?
UGH! This has happened to me too! You are eating a piece of pumpkin pie and crunch, crunch, crunch. Kind of ruins it, doesn't it? I don't think it's the seasoning because I'm pretty sure I used a can in a cake mix and still had crunch. Somehow I eliminated the spices. I think it's grit in the pumpkin! That is one reason I started freezing my own. Unfortunately I didn't do that this year...bummer. Yeah, isn't it terrible?!
