    Whole Wheat Pumpkin Cake

    Eggless whole wheat pumpkin cake: Delicious recipe with wheat flour, pumpkin, walnuts, and no eggs! Pumpkin is a versatile vegetable, and I would love to try dessert recipes with pumpkin. I have already shared  Pumpkin kheer and pumpkin halwa. This pumpkin cake is my recent try. I just referred this and tweaked it a bit! It turned out surprisingly good, I should say it is the best soft whole wheat cake I have ever baked.

    This pumpkin cake can be given to toddlers after one year. Check out other healthy cake recipes for toddlers and kids here.

    GKFoodDiary is Four today. Yes, today is our fourth blog Anniversary. Four years ago, I  had just started my journey; I had no idea how long it would go. But here we are celebrating four long years, which wouldn't be possible without our readers! Thank you so much for the generous support you all have given! Do continue your support, and I need all your encouragement for all my future endeavors 🙂 And to celebrate this occasion, I chose this pumpkin cake to mark the achievement.

    Now Let's check how to make this healthy egg-less whole wheat pumpkin cake.

    Notes :

    • I used homemade pumpkin puree; You can use storebought one too.
    • If the final mixture is too thick after adding wheat flour mix, add a few tablespoon of milk to get the desired consistency.
    • Don't over-mix after adding the dry ingredients. Fold them for 10-15 seconds.
    • This pumpkin cake stays at room temperature for four days and stays suitable for a week if stored in the refrigerator.
    • You could use any nuts of your choice instead of walnuts.
    • Mixing and measurements are most important for the perfect cake.
