Recipe developed by Somikazi Zulu, LANCEWOOD® 2018 finalist:
"When I was growing up, I hated eating pumpkin. But my grandmother wouldn’t take no for an answer and forced me to eat my veggies. Today, I prefer them in cake form – this pumpkin cake is an absolute must for anyone who needs a reason to finish their vegetables."
