PUMPKIN CAKE WITH SULTANA & COCONUT
Another clipping I have kept from the Australian Womans Weekly 1987. A little taste of country cooking from rural New South Wales. I made this for my husband to take as morning tea at his work once and it went very quickly.(About 500 grms of raw pumpkin will cook down to 1 1/2 cups mashed)

Steps:
- Cream the butter and sugar with an electric beater until light and fluffy.
- Add 1 of the eggs and beat well.
- Then repeat 1 egg at a time beating well after each addition.
- Stir in coconut and mashed pumpkin.
- Fold in the remaining ingredients and mix well.
- Spread mixture into a lined loaf tin (15cm x 25cm).
- Bake for 1 1/4 hours in a moderate oven.
Tips:
- Choose the right pumpkin: Use a sugar pumpkin or a pie pumpkin, as they have a dense, flavorful flesh that is perfect for baking. Avoid using a carving pumpkin, as it has a stringy texture and less flavor.
- Roast the pumpkin yourself: Roasting the pumpkin brings out its natural sweetness and flavor. To roast the pumpkin, cut it in half, scoop out the seeds, and place it cut-side down on a baking sheet. Roast at 400°F for 45-60 minutes, or until the pumpkin is tender.
- Use a combination of spices: Pumpkin cake is traditionally spiced with cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger. You can also add other spices, such as cloves, allspice, or cardamom, to taste.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the cake tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This will ensure that the cake is cooked through.
- Let the cake cool completely before frosting it: This will help the frosting set properly.
Conclusion:
Pumpkin cake is a delicious and festive fall dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a few simple tips, you can make a pumpkin cake that is sure to impress your friends and family.
