Baked this for mil's birthday last Saturday. Ever since i got to know hb 7 years ago, mil has been telling me about the pumpkin cake she had quite some time ago during a X'mas dinner baked by a caucasian who was working together with fil. I guess it left her a very memorable impression to this day because whenever we talk about cakes, she would mention it.
To make her happy, i told her i will bake her one too! Had my first experiment on Tuesday and since then, made a few changes to the recipe which i had from a friend donkey years back eg: omit the vanilla essence and less pumpkin puree (i'm one greedy lady! I stirred in more than half of the original recipe).
The whole family love it! Sil even 'ta pao' back to her house, shockingly.. because she is one of those people who refused to eat cakes (for the record, she didn't eat Sz's birthday cake. Haha).
This pumpkin cake recipe is definitely a keeper. Funny thing is, i hardly come across any pumpkin cakes before and i've not seen any pumpkin cake recipes in cook books too until i bought this huge baking book last week. I wonder why.
