Pumpkin Cake
This cake is not only decorated to look like a pumpkin, but it contains
pureed pumpkin in its ingredients!
Ingredients:
3 1/2 cups self-rising flour
2 1/2 cups brown sugar
4 eggs
1 cup vegetable oil
1 (16 ounce) can pumpkin puree
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon all spice
1 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
Directions:
In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar and spices.
In a separate bowl, combine
beaten eggs, vegetable oil and pumpkin puree.
Mix well and then add pumpkin mixture to flour mixture. Fold in chopped
walnuts (if using).
Place in a lightly greased pumpkin shaped baking tin. Bake
in a preheated oven at 350F ((180C, Gas Mark 4) for approximately 25 minutes or until golden and
baked through. Decorate with orange frosting, candy corn and liquorice to form a
pumpkin face.
Tip: If you don’t have a pumpkin shaped baking tin, you can use a regular tin
and shape the cake after cooking by cutting off the corners. |
