Even though Autumn is over, incorporating pumpkin into dishes is my all time favorite go-to! Have you ever tried using pumpkinseed oil?? No? Me neither !! So I thought I’ll give it a try and I was surprised how good it is! This recipe is also not too sweet which makes the combination with the frosting even better! You can totally leave it out but I highly recommend it. The batter consists out of pumpkinseed oil, grounded pumpkin seeds and of course all the common cake ingredients. You will find the recipe below. So give it a try and welcome autumn with this fantastic cake. I found this recipe @mehl_reise myself and I can highly recommend it.

    what are the measurements. we don't use g

      Apologies! I am from Austria and we exclusively use grams. I looked the converted measurements up and added them in the recipe.

      However, please be aware that the measurements are much more exact while using grams. Enjoy!

    Uh , where’s the pumpkin? The purée? It’s not pumpkin without real pumpkin! If you didn’t grow the smaller sweet sugar pumpkins, then canned ‘pure’ pumpkin will do. And add a little evaporated (not condensed) milk to add a touch of extra mmm to the loaf

    PS. To me, using oils, seeds etc, doesn’t seem authentic. I once made banana muffins for my family’s lunches and snuck some banana flavouring in as I didn’t have enough bananas-I felt guilty as sin! No one noticed but I never did that again. 😊 Happy New Year to you and yours in 2022! It’s GOT to get better doesn’t it?😬🙏👍🏽
