Equipment

  • Convection oven
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Whisk and spatula
  • Bowls for mixing the batter

Ingredients

  • 2 cups whole wheat flour
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree @room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 cup sugar
  • ½ cup sunflower oil
  • ½ cup water
  • ¾ cup buttermilk or ½ cup yogurt mixed with water
  • 100 grams Lindt dark chocolate chopped

Spices

  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon powder
  • 1 teaspoon dry ginger powder
  • ½ teaspoon cardamom powder
  • ¼ teaspoon clove powder

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 180C. Prepare a loaf tin, grease and line it with a parchment paper.
  • In a wide bowl, take flour, baking powder, baking soda and all the spices together. Whisk well to combine.
  • In another wide bowl take pumpkin puree, add water, buttermilk and oil to this and whisk well to combine.
  • To this pumpkin mix, add sugar and whisk well for the sugar to dissolve well.
  • Now add ½ cup flour mix at a time to the wet ingredients, using a whisk mix well to get a uniform batter.
  • Pour the batter into the greased parchment laid loaf tin. Tap the tin to release any air.
  • Bake the cake in the preheated oven for 40-50 minutes or until a skewer inserted in the middle of the cake comes out clean.
  • Once done, remove the cake from the oven, let it sit in the pan for 5 minutes. Then slowly remove it with the parchment and let it sit on the wire rack to coo well.
  • Slice the cake and enjoy it warm. I usually leave the cake for a day on the counter. Then refrigerate the cake in an air-tight box.
  • If serving the cake from the refrigerator, then reheat each slice for 10-20 seconds an serve warm.

Notes

  • Baking temperature varies from oven to oven, so keep an eye on the bake after 30 minutes. 
  • if you are using frozen pumpkin puree in the bake, then keep it out of the freezer and let it thaw completely before using in the bake.
