Tips

These days, cake baking is so much simpler with silicone and non-stick baking pans. If you're not using these, be sure to line and grease your baking tins.

If you're cooking fresh pumpkin, be sure to stew the pumpkin in sugared water. Pumpkin just sucks up surrounding flavors and is even more delicious in the cake.

For this cake recipe, stew fresh pumpkin till it is very tender. When it is mixed with the batter, the fibers are so soft that it blends in smoothly.
