Introduction

Pumpkin Spice Cake

Autumn gets a major yay from me. In addition to those gorgeous colours and delightfully crisp mornings, the colder weather is a blatant invitation to sit by the fire with a steaming cuppa and a delicious treat.

Such as this dense, chewy and spicy cake. It came about because we recently received this ridiculously Cinderella-esque specimen. A clear invitation to pumpkin-ise absolutely everything on my plate: PUMPKIN!

I originally wanted to make pumpkin pancakes, but was sorely lacking in the non-stick department – total disaster. Not one to waste a good baking opportunity, I poured the batter into a cake mould and hoped for the best. It turned out super satisfying, worthy of a Veggie Magnifique share, so here goes!
