@mindhunter's Winter Sweet Tooth Re-emerges ... ICED PUMPKIN TRAY BAKE.
This tray bake is easily made using tinned pumpkin puree although it is even better when made with a home-made version. Makes 24.
INGREDIENTS:
FOR THE PUMPKIN CAKE LAYER:
4 eggs
325g caster sugar
250mls vegetable oil
1 (400g) tin of pumpkin puree
250g plain flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon salt
FOR THE ICING:
85g cream cheese, softened
125g butter, softened
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
250g sifted icing sugar
@mindhunter METHOD:
Preheat the oven to 180C/160C/Gas mark 4.
In a medium bowl, mix the eggs, sugar, oil and pumpkin puree with an electric mixer until light and fluffy.
Sift together the flour, baking soda, bicarbonate of soda, cinnamon and salt. Add to the pumpkin mixture and stir until thoroughly combined.
Spread the cake mixture evenly into an ungreased Swiss roll tin. Bake for 25-30 minutes in a preheated oven. Cool before icing.
To make the icing, cream together the cream cheese and butter. Stir in the vanilla. Add the icing sugar a little at a time, beating until the mixture is smooth. Spread evenly on top of the cooled tray bake and cut into slices.
Enjoy your lovely sweet pumpkin tray bake!

Why do you tease me so?
These pictures of currently unattainable, yet seemingly delectable morsels!
Such florid language too! How sweet and lovely of thee :))
Just slightly bigger than the Baby Bear — at three to four pounds —and with the same deep orange color, the Baby Pam is sugary, starchy, and string-less, making it an ideal pumpkin to bake in tray bakes. Its dry flesh also makes the bakes denser.
I do love the colour of this tray bake. Amazing!
Your right, there is no other tray bake quite like it!
Ok so is that like 1 and 3/4 cups of sugar and 1 and 1/4 cups flour?! And how much of a cup of oil ? Lol! Im sleepy going home to bed soon! haveing a brain freeze! Lol! Thanks
