Ingredients:
  • 250g butter, at room temperature
  • 180.00 gm brown sugar
  • 250.00 ml mashed butternut pumpkin, chilled (see Notes)
  • 300.00 gm self-raising flour
  • 3.75 gm mixed spice

  • 176.25 gm Brand Sour Cream
  • 49.50 gm pure icing sugar, sifted
Instructions:
  • Preheat the oven to 180C (160C for fan ovens) and lightly grease a 22cm round Coles cook&dine springform pan before lining the base and sides with baking paper.
  • In a bowl, cream together butter and sugar using an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, mixing until just combined.
