Eggless Pumpkin Custard Cake
Because I’ve been pumpkin crazy and I’ve been trying to turn everything into pumpkin, after I made the eggless custard cake, I immediately had plans to try to make a pumpkin version.
I originally planned to make a pure pumpkin cake without the spices. But the taste wasn’t exactly to my liking, so I think a little cinnamon is necessary.
This cake came out soft and almost melts in your mouth thanks to the custard powder The custard powder which is available on Amazon*. The pumpkin version is a little denser and I prefer the original more, but this was still tasty.
It’s a nice simple cake that goes well with a cup of tea or coffee. Sometimes simple is best and it’s something you can whip up quickly. I really like the dark yellow orange color too.

I love all the pumpkin recipes this time of year too! Except that I end up with a to-try list that has way too many items than I have time
YOu can also find the Bird’s custard powder at Fresh & Easy in their British foods section. It’s $5.49 I believe.
