Ingredients

225g self-raising flour

1 level tsp ground ginger

1 level tsp ground cinnamon

175g butter, softened

100g light soft brown sugar

100g clear honey

2 large free-range eggs

150g pumpkin (or butternut squash) weighed without seeds and skin, grated

100g pine nuts

50g icing sugar

Method

Pre-heat the oven to 180C/160C Fan/Gas 4. Grease a 23cm round cake tin and line the base with baking paper.

Sift the flour, ginger and cinnamon together.

Beat the butter and sugar until creamy. Add the honey and beat again.

Beat in the eggs one at a time, adding a spoonful of the flour mixture with each.

Fold in the rest of the flour, the grated pumpkin and pine nuts. Spoon into the cake tin and level the top.

Bake for 45-55 minutes or until the top springs back when lightly pressed. Cool on a wire rack.

Mix the icing sugar with 1 1/2 tsp water and drizzle on top.
