Tender, ultra-moist cake and creamy icing mingle gorgeously to form a dessert that looks exactly like pretty little pumpkins. All thanks to a mini bundt pan, bringing out that perfect pumpkin shape becomes a child’s play, placing one baked bundt cake on top of another. And you get that lovely pumpkin hue once the batter is baked until it gets slightly browned. The flavour-packed recipe is a mix of canned pumpkin puree, some eggs, some vegetable oil, water, some sugar, whole wheat all-purpose flour, some baking soda, salt, ground cinnamon, some ground nutmeg, and ground cloves. The ingredients when mixed together and baked into mini pumpkins, end up in the cake all set to be drizzled with a homemade icing. It’s sugar, milk and juice mixed together to form a shining icing that’s rightly complimented by a cinnamon stick going for the stem of the gourd.
