A spiced pumpkin loaf cake which just happens to be vegan! This is the best vegan pumpkin bread ever, so soft & moist. Give it a go and let me know what you think. NOTE: make sure you're using pumpkin puree from a tin/can. If you absolutely can't get it, roast a halved pumpkin, scoop the flesh, blend it & then place into a cheesecloth-lined seive set over a bowl and leave for 2-3 hours to let excess water drain off).

TOPPINGS (optional):

Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 180°C fan (350°F). Grease a 2lb loaf tin with some oil and line with a sling of baking paper.

Step 2

In a large bowl, mix the pumpkin puree, sugar, oil, water, spices, orange zest and salt until smooth.

Step 3

Stir in the sourdough starter. Lastly, add the flour and bicarbonate of soda. Fold together until just combined.

Step 4

Pour the batter into your lined loaf tin. Sprinkle with the topping of light brown sugar and pumpkin seeds, if using.

Step 5

Bake for 55-70 minutes– a toothpick inserted into the centre should come out clean. If the loaf looks like it's browning too much but is not cooked through yet, tent the top with foil for the last 20 minutes of baking.

Step 6

Allow to cool before removing from the tin, slicing & serving.
