Ingredients
Cake
- 1¾ cups plain all purpose flour
- 1 cup caster superfine sugar
- ¾ cup cocoa powder
- 1½ teaspoon baking soda
- 1½ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon ground ginger
- ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- ⅛ teaspoon ground cloves
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup buttermilk I used milk with a little lemon juice
- 450 g 15 oz pumpkin puree (reserve 1 tablespoon for icing)
- ¾ cup brown sugar
- 1 free-range egg
- 1 free-range egg white
- ¼ cup olive oil
- ¼ cup light corn syrup I used glucose syrup
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
Drizzle
- 1 cup icing confectioner's sugar
- 1 teaspoon cocoa
- 1 tablespoon pumpkin puree
- Water
- Icing sugar to dust
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 160C (350F) fan-forced.
- Generously butter a bundt tin, then dust it with flour, tapping to shake out the excess. I found it easier to sift the flour onto the tin.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda, spices, and salt.
- In a second bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, pumpkin and brown sugar until smooth then whisk in the whole egg and the egg white.
- Finally, add the oil, corn syrup and vanilla and whisk until smooth.
- Make a well in the dry ingredients and carefully fold in the wet ingredients until just combined.
- Spread the batter into the tin and smooth out the top.
- Bake the cake for 1h to 1 hour 15 minutes or until a cake tester inserted in the middle comes out clean.
- Leave it to rest in the tin for 15 minutes and then cross your fingers and turn it out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- To make the drizzles, divide the icing sugar into three bowls.
- To one, add the cocoa and to another add the pumpkin puree.
- Add just enough water to each one to make it into a drizzle then when the cake is cool, drizzle them over the top and leave them to set.
