Little Spiced Pumpkin Cakes
Despite being a vegetable, pumpkin works so well in sweet recipes. We love this combination of the pumpkin and aromatic spices.
Recipe Tester Feedback: “These cakes were crunchy on the outside but moist on the inside. Very delicious, and a hit with everyone for morning tea. I also made a batch with gluten free flour which were just as delicious." - Lesley
