    I felt the tablespoon of ginger would have been better replaced with fresh ginger. Although I would make it again to use up leftovers and store cupboard ingredients, I do prefer a banana loaf or the pumkin cake from BBC good food.

    This is so delicious and moist. I first ran out of white flour so added half wholemeal flour then made again with only white flour and I kinda preferred the first version!

    A favourite with everyone who tries this cake. Also freezes really well, so good to have when unexpected guests arrive.

    This is one of the most delicious cakes I've ever made. Incredibly moist, and the ginger complements the pumpkin perfectly. Good job I have enough pumpkin left to make about 5 more!

    I used butternut squash and made the cake as a traybake. I decorated it with a zig-zag drizzle of icing and a few scattered gold stars, called it Halloween cake and it went down a storm !!

    A very pleasant cake with a lovely even texture. The pumpkin flavour is extremely subtle, and I think that I will try adding more ginger or other spices to give it a bit of a kick, because while it's very nice, it's quite plain.
