Ingredients

Butter1/2 cup, softened
Salta pinch
Eggs3
Sugar1 cup
Baking Powder2 tsp
Vanilla Extract1 tsp
Pumpkin300 g, cubed
Ground Cinnamon1 tsp
Brown Sugar1/2 cup
Nutmeg1/2 tsp, freshly grated

Instructions

1
Preheat the oven to 175 C / 350 F, grease the tin and dust it so nothing sticks later.
2
Whisk the nutmeg, eggs and sugar until pale, thick and doubled — this takes three or four good minutes.
3
Fold the flour and ground cinnamon through in two additions; overmixing makes a dense crumb.
4
Bake in the middle of the oven for 30-35 minutes; cool in the tin for ten before turning out.
5
Once cool, slice and serve, or ice it generously and let the frosting set.

Chef's tip

Resting a custard or pudding overnight deepens the flavour and sets a cleaner slice.
