Ingredients

• 1 cup pumpkin puree
• 0.25 cup sunflower oil
• 0.625 cup milk
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.33 cup granulated sugar
• 0.33 cup light brown sugar
• 2 cups all purpose flour
• 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon nutmeg
• 0.25 teaspoon ginger
• 0.67 cup cream cheese
• 0.25 cup sugar
• 0.25 cup whipping cream
• 1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 180°C and prepare your loaf tin by lining it with parchment paper and greasing it with butter.
2. In a large bowl whisk together the pumpkin puree, eggs, oil, milk, granulated sugar, brown sugar and vanilla until smooth.
3. Next, sift in the flour, baking powder and spices. Mix until just combined.
4. Pour into your prepared loaf tin and bake in the preheated oven for about 60 minutes. About 30 minutes into baking, check the cake. If the top is browning too quickly, cover it with foil to prevent it from burning.
5. Once ready, remove the cake from the oven and let it cool inside the pan for about 15 minutes.
6. After 15 minutes, remove it from the pan and let it completely cool on a wire rack.
7. For the frosting, whisk together the cream cheese with the sugar, then add the heavy cream and keep whisking until it’s thick enough to holds its shape.
8. Once the cake has completely cooled down, frost it!
