Libby's Sour Cream Pumpkin Bundt Cake

What happens you try to make more room in your freezer, and find bags of frozen pumpkin in there? You get a craving for something pumpkin, yes nearly Summer time and I wanted pumpkin. I went to my trusty drawer-files, full of recipes I've collected from the past 13 years and pulled out one of those supermarket checkstand magazines for Libby's Home Baked Goodness (1996!) all things pumpkin. This is more of a cake than a coffecake, I think. It's super moist!
