When I was a little boy about 50 years ago my parents thought it would be a good idea to plant 2 acres of long neck pumpkins. A few hours a day I would carry long neck pumpkins. One over each shoulder. Back to the house. Momma was a prepper. We canned pumpkins for weeks.

[@emmasgoodies]

That's amazing!!

[@slvaltva1392]

Thank you so much! Pre-cooked or canned pumpkin isn't sold in my country or at least very rare, but pumpkin itself is common and cheap so it's great to find a recipe with fresh pumpkin!

[@emmasgoodies]

I'm so happy you love this! Yes, pumpkin puree is hard to find here as well. But you can absolutely use fresh! Just as easy💕

[@ashirbanimajumder9973]

This pumpkin cake looks really good. It's the perfect dessert during this season. I will definitely give it a try. Thanks for sharing 😊

[@RoyalPanana]

I'm definitively trying this this year! I would love a pumpkin pie recipe from you as well with the fresh pumpkin! The ones i've tried always taste better with the canned purée.... I wonder if there is a trick to make it more flavorful with the fresh ones

[@emmasgoodies]

For sure you can use fresh pumpkin to make pumpkin pie. However, I would roast it and make a pumpkin purée. That will be better than canned. You want the smooth texture of a puree for a pie.

[@robind8149]

Such a great idea to grate the fresh pumpkin! I’ve never seen that!😊🙏❤️

[@emmasgoodies]

Thank you so much!❤️ I'm happy you like this technique

[@FoziasCooking]

very nice,,,👍👍👍

[@lonamgabe79]

Great video 🥰Can you please make a sourdough recipe (including how to make the starter)❤️?

[@frankiemangano6704]

That’s good how you could be able to grate your pumpkin, as you’ll usually do when you grate some cheese. Normally, cutting into pumpkins could be very dangerous, because they have really tough skins on the outside. So, it could be very easy to accidentally cut yourself. But, I also know that you could actually bake your pumpkins, and scoop out the pumpkins to get fresh purée.

[@emmasgoodies]

Yes I agree. Check your local supermarkets though, they usually sell some form of pre-cut pumpkin. Add it to your food processor and you're done 💕

[@lorraine5083]

Thank you ….. the price of canned pumpkin is really high now so It’s a great recipe to have!!!!

Not sure what went wrong. I made it right now and after 25min at 320F the batter was still mush. Took a total of 45 min baking time. Are you sure it is supposed to be 320 and not 350F? It was nice and moist in the end though that it does not need the icing.

Hi hun! My oven might be hotter than yours ( I have a small european oven). You can absolutely turn up the temperature to 350. I'm so happy you loved it!❤️
