Ingredients:

100g butter
250g sugar
2 medium eggs
400g flour
3 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp ground ginger
1/2 tsp nutmeg
1/2 tsp salt
400g cooked pumpkin
180ml milk
1/2 tsp baking soda

Method:

Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy then add the eggs one by one and mix in. Mix the dry ingredients together in a separate bowl. Add the pumpkin, soda and milk and blend well.

Add this blended mixture to the sugar, butter and egg mixture. Mix well then whisk rapidly. Pour into a 30 x 22 cm cake tin and bake in an oven pre-heated to 170°C (325°F/Gas Mark 3) for 25 minutes, or until done.

Allow to cool in the tin for 10 minutes then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely.

These are typically served undecorated, you can ice (frost) then like a carrot cake, if desired.
