Spiced pumpkin loaf
Pumpkins are in season and I’ve been playing around with different pumpkin recipes. The last time I made spiced pumpkin muffins and they were a hit amongst my friends. This time round, I’ve decided to make a spiced pumpkin loaf cake with loads of nuts. This cake is super easy to make as it does not require the use of a mixer. All you need to do is to mix the dry ingredients in together with the wet ingredients. The only troublesome part is the grating of the pumpkin. I’ve used buttermilk for this cake. U can either buy it from the shops or you can make your own buttermilk by adding one or two tablespoons of lemon juice into the milk. Alternatively, greek yoghurt can used too. I’m a huge fan of adding nuts into the cake, so feel free to add walnuts or almonds into the cake.
