This might be the unhealthiest thing that I have ever baked (so much oil! so much sugar!), but – damn! – is it tasty! My New Yorker friend Genn has been educating me on all things pumpkin and passed on this recipe…
:: 3 cups sugar
:: 1 cup vegetable oil
:: 4 eggs
:: 2 cups canned pumpkin (I used fresh pumpkin, roasted until soft and then blended)
:: 2/3 cup water
:: 3 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
:: 2 tsp. baking soda
:: 1 1/2 tsp. salt
:: 1 tsp. ground cinnamon
:: 1 tsp. ground nutmeg
:: 1/2 to 3/4 cup chopped pecans or walnuts
Preheat oven to 350/175 degrees. Grease and flour 2 loaf pans. Mix sugar and oil with mixer. Add eggs and blend. Add pumpkin and blend. Add water and blend. Combine remaining ingredients and add slowly. Fill pans equally and bake for 1 hour or until golden brown.
I filled two loaf pans (okay, cake tins – I have no idea where my loaf pans have gone…) and still had enough mixture for twelve muffins. I baked the muffins for 25 minutes and the ‘loaves’ for forty to accommodate for the lack of proper apparatus. I was very happy for the opportunity to try out my funky silicone muffin cases, though – they’re ace beans!

And I was just about to add are those the silicone muffin cups I have been envying in shops lately (though it somehow sounds very wrong?) when I realised I should stop drooling and read your post slowly…
