  One of the best cakes I've made! I guessed at the amount of honey and it still turned out lovely and light and not too sweet. It was moist enough to serve without butter.

  This was brilliant I took it up the pub for my friends to try and even the most fussy of them loved it! Will make this again.

  I've often made this and it's fabulous every time. I use butternut squash like a good South African cook!

  very tasty, lovely texture. I like it a little less sweet though and reduced the honey to 50 g when I made the teabread again.

  Really lovely cake - tried it with and without butter and don't really think the butter is needed. I used butternut squash as had used up all my pumpkin on the pumpkin cake I also made! A few of my colleagues turned their noses up when I said it was made with butternut squash but soon changed their minds when they tasted it! I will certainly be making this again!

  My husband adored this! It was very moist inside but mine had a crispy top, and the combination was moreish!! It's lovely with or without butter. I didn't put as much pumpkin in as stated but could still feel texture and taste of it. Rather like carrot cake, it may sound weird to anyone who hasn't tried it, but tastes lovely. Recommended to all!

  I've made this several times this pumpkin season and it has gone down a storm even with french friends who were sceptical about what the describe as "putting vegetables in desserts". I agree with previous readers I serve it simply as a cake with no butter. Was a very succesful dessert for a girly dinnerparty served with a blob of creme fraiche.

  Hardest thing about this recipe is peeling and grating the squash, didn´t have any ginger so used mixed spice instead, lovely, suggest with squash use slightly less sugar.

  Marvelous teabread! I added two eggs instead of one, a touch bit more flour and some walnuts, and it rose really well. Been told that it was the best cake I've made so far! :-)

  ***** This was easy to make and lovely and gingery. I love ginger anyway. I bought pumpkin for the first time, found it easy to cut and prepare, its a lovely golden colour cake and crispy with the demerara on top. Yum! So much better than any shop bought rubbish! All caked I have made from this site have been AMAZING so far!

  Tried this to be a bit festive at the weekend. It worked out nice and everyone had some but it's not a favourite. It's nice to try something different though and would probably make again at some stage.

  Made this for the first time yesterday - had only used pumpkin in savoury dishes up till now, as I'm not normally a "cake" person! What a lovely treat! So easy to make and the kitchen smelt delightful for hours afterwards. I didn't have any demerara sugar so topped it with dark molasses sugar - also used two eggs as the ones I had were a bit on the small side. Turned out beautifully moist and scrumptious enough to eat on its own (no butter or spread necessary). Took half the loaf to work to try out on my office pals - it disappeared in no time along with requests for more. Will most definitely be making this again - and not just for the office.

  I had some problems getting it to rise...it wasn't very well risen, and slightly stodgy in texture (although this may be related to the pumpkin in it) - almost like the texture of a banana bread. However, it was really very tasty! I also made some ginger toffee sauce to go with it, and heated it up in the microwave then had it as a pudding. Very tasty!
