Pumpkin Cake With Sultana & Coconut

"Another clipping I have kept from the Australian Womans Weekly 1987. A little taste of country cooking from rural New South Wales. I made this for my husband to take as morning tea at his work once and it went very quickly.(About 500 grms of raw pumpkin will cook down to 1 1/2 cups mashed)"

  1. Vraiment délicieux, j'ai remplacé beurre par 1/4 tasse huile canola. A refaire.
     
  2. This recipe was easy to put together, although I had to make two batches, my first batch I wasn't sure what temperature to cook it at because of the "moderate oven" phrasing, so I cooked it a 200°F for the 1 1/4 hours and then turned the oven up. The second batch I called my SIL in London and she told me to bake it at 400°F and that should be better. I need them to be done in a hurry, so I made 18 cupcakes with the batter and cooked them for 35 minutes. They came out perfect and they taste great. The only change I made to the batter was to use regular raisins becase I could not find sultana. Thanks for a delicious dessert Catherine! Made for Spring 2013 PAC.
     
  3. This was easily made and just as quickly devoured - next time I will make a double batch - had some difficulty finding wholemeal self-rising flour so used cake flour self rising instead - sultana I used currents and raisin combo - the orange gives it a nice moist texture made for fall adopt a chef 2009- this is a keeper
     
  4. Yum!! This is a wonderfully moist and tasty cake. I couldnt resist cutting it as soon as it came out the oven...the smell was fantastic. Thanks for sharing, I'll be making this one over and over again I'm sure.

I used to love buying cooking magazines every month but I found that I would use 1 or 2 recipes if I was lucky. Then I stumbled across Recipezaar in a search engine when looking for inspiration for sausages. I really like the variety and I have gotten some great ideas. Things have changed since that day. I don't waste money on the magazines any more. Now my family are enjoying a new variety of meals, which have been fantastic. <a href="http://www.amazingcounter.com"><img border="0" src="http://c8.amazingcounters.com/counter.php?i=1693325&c=5080288" alt="Counters"></a><a href="http://www.coupons-coupon-codes.com/hsn/">HSN.com Coupon</a>
