I’m really rather pleased with how these turned out as I wasn’t even sure if I was going to like them, having never tried pumpkin before. But I figured in cake form was the safest way to try it out. The verdict from everyone that has tried them has probably been the best I’ve received so I think that proves they’re pretty darn yummy! I added in white chocolate chips because I was a little afraid it wouldn’t quite be sweet enough for me but these are completely optional.
If you like these cakes you’ll probably also like my Anti-Valentines cupcakes!

*it seems the only place this is available in store is Waitrose (I asked in Asda, Tesco and M&S before popping into my local store that happens to be a Waitrose) but after a quick google it seems Ocado also have it. You could of course make your own from an actual pumpkin.
