Step 1
Heat the oven to 200C/180C/gas 6. Cut the pumpkin into big chunks then wrap in foil and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until tender. Cut away any skin then purée the flesh in a blender. Cool then weigh out 100g.

Step 2
Turn the oven down to 180C/fan 160C/gas 4. Put the flour, sugar, spices, baking powder and 1/2 tsp salt in a bowl and mix. Put the eggs, purée and oil in a jug and beat together. Mix the wet ingredients into the dry to make a batter. Add a little milk if you need to loosen it.
