Description

If you don’t have a pumpkin shaped baking tin, you can use a regular tin and decorate as a pumpkin for a similar effect.

Ingredients

  • 3 1⁄2 cups self-rising flour
  • 2 1⁄2 cups brown sugar
  • 4 eggs
  • 1 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 (16 ounce) can pumpkin puree
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 tsp all spice
  • 1 cup chopped walnuts (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl combine flour, sugar and spices.
  2. In a separate bowl combine beaten eggs, vegetable oil and pumpkin puree.
  3. Mix well and add pumpkin mixture to flour mixture.
  4. Fold in chopped walnuts (if using).
  5. Place in a lightly greased pumpkin shaped baking tin. Bake in a preheated oven at 350 for approximately 25 minutes or until golden and baked through.
  6. Decorate with orange frosting, candy corn and licorice to form a pumpkin face.
