I have prepared several desserts with pumpkin early this month but didn't realise that Best Recipes event for this month is on 'Pumpkin'.
Anyway, with still some pumpkins left, I baked this cake using my latest acquired non-stick muffin tray. Got it rather cheap at the hypermart. The original recipe is a cake baked in 8 inch square pan. It's a good thing, I used my new muffin tray cos' I managed to get 6 mini cakes which I can give my neighbours.
This cake is moist and dense but tasted good with the aroma of cinnamon. It is not that sweet even with raisins in it as I have reduced the sugar to this amount.
Recipe adapted from Yum Yum Magazine
Ingredients
[ 8 inch square pan – baked 45 minutes]
[ large size muffin pan – baked 30 minutes]
250 gm butter – room temperature

2 tbsp milk
270 gm plain flour + 1 tsp baking powder – sifted together
½ tsp mixed spices + ½ tsp cinnamon powder
200 gm pumpkin – peeled and shredded
50 gm raisins – soaked for 10 minutes and drained
- Beat butter and sugar until light and creamy.
- Add in eggs one at a time and beat well after each addition.
- Fold in sifted flour and spice powders and milk in batches until well combined.
- Fold in shredded pumpkin and raisins.
- Pour into a greased cake pan or muffin tray.
- Baked in preheated oven at 180 degrees C for 45 or 30 minutes respectively.
- Test with a skewer before remove pan to cool on wire rack.

Hi Kimmy! I love cakes with pumpkin. Quite a good idea to bake individual small cakes so that you don't have to slice it. Your muffin pan is very nice with the designs. If I see, I will sure buy hee..hee...
Thanks Ann, I will have to use this pan more often, hehehe! It's a tasty cake, though.
Hi Phong Hong, I saw it a few times and what tempted me to buy was the change in price. Price reduction by 35%. There was another 6 hole non-stick muffin tray, too. I bought these 2 cos' of the price. Looks like I have to bake more cakes/buns using them, hehehe!
Hi Kimmy,
Lovely cake! I like pumpkin in cakes! Perfect for snacking!
Hi Joyce, I enjoyed eating this cake with a cup of hot coffee and tea without sugar. Nice.
