Pumpkin cake/loaf



Fall is synonymous with pumpkins . Pumpkins belong to the squash family, although they have slight differences.  For this recipe I used butternut squash because I had some left over from another recipe.  There are so many varieties of pumpkins grown in Ontario, be adventurous pick any one and try something new.



Ingredients


2 cups fresh cooked or canned pumpkin puree ( I used butternut squash)
1/2 cup olive oil
3/4 tsp  cinnamon
1 egg
2 cups  sugar
1/2 tsp pumpkin spice
3/4 tsp salt
2 tsp baking soda
1/2 cup walnuts chopped roughly (large pieces)
2 1/2 cup all-purpose flour

 
               


Method

Preheat the oven to 350F
Line a loaf pan with parchment paper.  Grease and flour the pan.


Mash the squash.
Mix all ingredients together beating until smooth.  Put into the loaf pan and smooth the top.  



Bake 1 hour and 30 minutes in a 350 degree oven.
NOTE:  The cake took the full 1 hour and thirty minutes to bake, but you may want to check your cake as cooking times differ depending on the pan and the oven used.
