Pumpkin and prune cake - Real Recipes from Mums

Hello!

Pumpkin and prune cake

Serves 12
1 hours
Difficulty Easy
8 Ingredients

This delicious pumpkin and prune cake is a perfect way to use your left over mashed pumpkin.

Ingredients (serves 12)

125g butter
1 cup caster sugar
2 eggs
1/4 cup orange juice
3/4 cup cold mashed pumpkin
1/2 cup finely chopped prunes
2 cups self raising flour
1/4 cup milk

Method

Pre-heat oven to moderate 180 (or 160 fan forced). Cream butter and sugar, and add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
Stir in orange juice, pumpkin and prunes.
Stir in sifted flour alternately with the milk. Stir until smooth.
Grease and flour a round cake tin or springform pan, and bake in a moderate oven until brown and firm to touch, about 45 mins. I have a fan-forced oven which seems to run quite hot so I cook mine at 160 degrees.

I have never ever made anything desert related with pumpkin, I have tried with other vegies like beetroot and zuccini but never pumpkin – here’s to a new year and experiment with pumpkin
