Spiced pumpkin cake is a delightful autumn treat filled with warmth and the aroma of spices. Its history roots back to European cuisine, where pumpkin has long been used in desserts for its tender texture and sweet flavor. In this recipe, juicy pumpkin is complemented by cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and allspice, creating depth of flavor with a hint of spiciness. The cake turns out soft, airy, and slightly moist, while its aroma fills the home with coziness. Perfect for a friendly tea gathering or family evening, especially on cool days when you want to warm up with something special. It can be topped with powdered sugar or cream, turning a simple cake into a true festive dessert.

If there is ready pumpkin puree, we take it. If there is no puree, we make it. For this, we cut the pumpkin into cubes and bake it in the oven for 20-25 minutes until soft. We make puree from the baked pumpkin.
