Categories     Afternoon tea, Snack, Supper, Treat

Time 50m

Yield Cuts into 15 generous portions

Number Of Ingredients 15

300g self-raising flour
300g light muscovado sugar
3 tsp mixed spice
2 tsp bicarbonate of soda
175g sultanas
½ tsp salt
4 eggs, beaten
200g butter, melted
zest 1 orange
1 tbsp orange juice
500g (peeled weight) pumpkin or butternut squash flesh, grated
200g pack soft cheese
85g butter, softened
100g icing sugar, sifted
zest 1 orange and juice of half

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 180C/fan 160C/gas 4. Butter and line a 30 x 20cm baking or small roasting tin with baking parchment. Put the flour, sugar, spice, bicarbonate of soda, sultanas and salt into a large bowl and stir to combine. Beat the eggs into the melted butter, stir in the orange zest and juice, then mix with the dry ingredients till combined. Stir in the pumpkin. Pour the batter into the tin and bake for 30 mins, or until golden and springy to the touch.
  • To make the frosting, beat together the cheese, butter, icing sugar, orange zest and 1 tsp of the juice till smooth and creamy, then set aside in the fridge. When the cake is done, cool for 5 mins then turn it onto a cooling rack. Prick it all over with a skewer and drizzle with the rest of the orange juice while still warm. Leave to cool completely.
  • If you like, trim the edges of the cake. Give the frosting a quick beat to loosen, then, using a palette knife, spread over the top of the cake in peaks and swirls. If you're making the cake ahead, keep it in the fridge then take out as many pieces as you want 30 mins or so before serving. Will keep, covered, for up to 3 days in the fridge.

Tips:

  • Choose the right pumpkin: For the best flavor and texture, choose a sugar pumpkin or a pie pumpkin. These pumpkins are smaller and sweeter than jack-o'-lantern pumpkins.
  • Roast the pumpkin ahead of time: Roasting the pumpkin allows the flavors to develop and makes it easier to puree. You can roast the pumpkin up to 3 days in advance.
  • Use a food processor or blender to puree the pumpkin: This will help to create a smooth and lump-free puree.
  • Add pumpkin spice to the cake batter: Pumpkin spice is a blend of spices that is commonly used in pumpkin pies and other pumpkin desserts. It typically includes cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cloves, and allspice.
  • Don't overmix the cake batter: Overmixing the cake batter can result in a tough, dry cake. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the cake at a moderate temperature: Baking the cake at a moderate temperature will help to prevent it from overcooking and drying out.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it: This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.

Conclusion:

This Halloween Pumpkin Cake is a delicious and festive dessert that is perfect for any Halloween party. The cake is moist and flavorful, with a rich pumpkin flavor. The cream cheese frosting is light and fluffy, and the candy corn adds a fun and festive touch. With a little planning and effort, you can easily make this cake at home. So gather your ingredients, preheat your oven, and get ready to bake up a Halloween treat that everyone will love!
