Equipment

  • 2lb Loaf tin https://amzn.to/3PA9iQA
  • 2lb loaf tin liners https://amzn.to/3PxMzo7

Ingredients

  • 150 grams dried fruit
  • 425 grams pumpkin puree roughly 1 can depending on the brand
  • 100 grams melted butter cooled slightly
  • 125 grams caster sugar
  • 125 grams light brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 75 ml natural yogurt roughly 3 tbsp
  • 275 grams self raising flour
  • 1.5 tsp cinnamon
  • 0.5 tsp nutmeg
  • 0.25 tsp all spice
  • 0.25 tsp ginger
  • 1 handful pumpkin seeds

Instructions

  • In a bowl, re-hydrate the dried fruit by pouring boiling water over them and leaving them to soak. 
  • Line a loaf tin with grease proof paper or a loaf liner (see note 1).
  • Pre-heat the oven to 180C or gas mark 4.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter and sugar.
  • Whisk in the eggs to the butter/sugar, one at a time until well combined, light and frothy.
  • Carefully fold the pumpkin puree into the wet ingredients trying not to knock out the air. 
  • Next, carefully fold in the natural yogurt. 
  • Add the flour and spices to the bowl, drain the fruit and add them too.
  • Again, carefully fold the ingredients until the flour has been fully incorporated and the fruit and spices are well dispersed. 
  • Pour the cake mix into the lined loaf tin and sprinkle the pumpkin seeds over the top.
  • Place into the centre of your oven and bake for 45 minutes.
  • Test the cake with a skewer and see if it comes out clean. If it required baking for a little longer, cover with tin foil and bake for up to an additional 20 minutes. 
  • Leave to cool slightly before serving (it tastes great both warm or cold).
