Is it boiled pumpkin paste or raw pumpkin paste we should use?

[@F.Andre1377]

@@reshmabanua4961boil the pumpkin first and purée it

[@crystaldefoe1851]

Hi! Love your cake making! Can I use sweet potatoe instead? If so, what paste would I need? Thanks in advance

[@F.Andre1377]

@@crystaldefoe1851 sweet potato 🍠 is a good substitute

[@CakesbyMK]

@@reshmabanua4961 hi there! The one I use in this recipe is canned pumpkin puree (cooked) but you can use homemade cooked pumpkin too (not raw). There's more info on my blog post with some tips on how to get your puree right for this cake :D cakesbymk.com/recipe/easy-pumpkin-cake-recipe/

[@sweetdeb100]

Hi MK, I love all of your cake recipes. I have many of them and all a hit in my family. I do have a suggestion. Please try cake strips. I have been using them for almost a year and my cakes are fantastic. No more domed top, no more dry cakes, no more cracks on top. The cakes cook from the inside out. Please give them a try. They truly work.

[@kataysmith9581]

This is the second recipe that I made from MK. This pumpkin cake was soft , fluffy and great tasting. Thank you for wonderful recipes!

[@mukadzichaiye2167]

Oh my gosh I tried this recently and I was skeptical about my cooking techniques but I followed you and this cake was amazing !!! I was very impressed !!! My first time making it and this recipe did not fail me 👍. Was so good that I shared slices to family and friends. I will definitely be keeping this recipe in my personal books.

The ingredients are the same as the spiced carrot cake except the carrots are swoped for pumpkin. I will have to try this. Thanks MK for all your wonderful recipes

[@CakesbyMK]

Hi there! :) Yes they are very similar with a few slight adjustments (like no pineapple or yoghurt in this recipe), but the mixing method and spices are almost the same :) hope you enjoy the recipe!

[@kanwalgulzar8609]

Hi Mk , will it be good even without icing ? I mean will it be moist enough to eat as it is

[@pragyagour8372]

Amazing recipe as always Waiting for more eggfree recipe plz try eggfree browine and tea cakes if possible

[@vandnaanky]

Yummy

[@preelogan-carrubba3257]

Ooh excited to make this but wondering if you can inc reference on videos or give advice on making different sizes? For two 8 inch layers does that translate to say 3 or 4 layers of a 6 inch? 😊

[@Essaslam]

Looks amazing. What is your recommendation if we can’t find firm cream cheese? We only have spreads here in the UK and my cream cheese frosting is always sloppy. I’ve asked the question before but didn’t get a response, would appreciate it if you can share any tips, thanks!

[@akhaliq1212]

Going to try this recipe for Thanksgiving Day dessert, love how simple and straightforward the recipe is and can’t wait to try it out. Thanks

[@bokangselewe8549]

Hi MK. We don't have all purpose flour in South Africa. Can i use cake wheat flour?

[@user-tv1uw3jv2i]

Mk he hecho hoy tu tarta, muy rica, deliciosa la hice con la calabaza asada bien escurrida, debo hacer algún cambio?? Porque el biscocho quedó muy rico pero no tan suelto como el tuyo sino un poquito más compacto.

[@devicakhan6590]

You should put some nut inside too will go well because it very similar to carrot cake I always make pumpkin cake with out eggs I use milk and butter it very tasty

[@lmlmlmlm7627]

This looks delicious!! Is there I can do to reduce the sweetness of frosting without compromising texture? I made your coconut cake and it delicious but the frosting was too sweet for my liking.

[@CakesbyMK]

Thanks so much! :) And you can reduce the icing sugar by about 1/4 cup and the consistency of the frosting should be fine, but I've also heard others adding cornstarch to thicken up frostings which you could try if you feel the frosting isn't firm enough :)

[@tead9684]

Looks amazing. I wonder if you can use sweet potato in place of the pumpkin

[@CakesbyMK]

Very true never thought of that before!! You would probably reduce the sugar as sweet potato is a little sweeter than pumpkin. Would be interesting to try it out :)

[@tead9684]

@@CakesbyMK thank you for that tip

[@MrDanshibai]

Can I use self rising flour?

[@JanadhiThilothma-rs3eq]

Request from me : Can you do a recipe for gingerbread house pls?😊

Hello, thanks for the recipe. I baked the cake, it turned out delicious, but in your picture it is light, and mine turned out dark, brown, what could I have done wrong?

[@beverlyperry663]

That is such a beautiful cake. You make baking cakes look so easy! I will have to give this one a try.

[@ami4764]

Thank you for sharing this recipe. Please can you tell me the substitute for the egg in this recipe. Can i use buttermilk instead? And if so how much? Thank you.

[@CakesbyMK]

You're so welcome! :) Unfortunately I haven't tried an egg substitute myself for this recipe so I can't recommend anything at this stage sorry!

[@yogitanowbuth6395]

Hello MK...i love ur recipes especially the eggless ones coz me and my family are pure vegetarians. So when u share your cake recipes that has eggless can u also give us and eggless option or substitute in the description PLEASE....THANK U. #FanOfCakesFrmMk🙏

[@lindyannfarrier8463]

I have cake flour so do I use my cake flour and use 2 1/2C ? As your recipe called for 2 1/4 flour +1/4 cornstarch

[@CakesbyMK]

Correct! :)

[@BakeTemptations]

Can you use buttermilk instead of whole milk 🤔

[@CakesbyMK]

You could probably use buttermilk in replacement of the milk as it's not a huge amount :)

[@333donutboy]

The cream cheese you use looks very yellow. In the US our cream cheese is white. What's the difference? BTW love your channel.

[@CakesbyMK]

Hi there! So the cream cheese here is quite white too, I think it may just be the saturation in the post editing which is making it look extra yellow, though I do still believe it is slightly more yellow than what you might get in the US as the cows here tend to produce a more yellow-hued milk because of the food they eat :) people say NZ butter is also very yellow compared to overseas - interesting huh! So happy to hear you're enjoying the videos :D

Miss, MK, check the written recipe, there is no cloves written or measurements thank you my cake is in the oven.

Ohh thank you so much for bringing this to my attention!! I must have missed it I'll amend it now :) hope you enjoy the recipe!

I cannot get allspice here what shud I do?

[@F.Andre1377]

You can make something very similar to allspice: Mix: ½ teaspoon cinnamon ¼ teaspoon nutmeg ¼ teaspoon cloves Then add whatever you need of this mixture (allspice) to the recipe

[@CakesbyMK]

Hi there! :) You can omit it and add in other spices like the other user has kindly suggested :)

[@monishamammen385]

I had the similar question. The allspice powder. Which one should I buy?

[@user-lb1wj8pe7i]

why didn't you say ok in the beginning ?😔😔

[@CakesbyMK]

I didn't think anyone would notice haha! I'll be sure to start with an 'okay' in the next video :D

[@soloangel625]

You can start any way you like just ignore negative comments. Okay
