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.
