You will love it!

This is the ultimate comfort cake in the fall. This pumpkin bread is super soft, moist, and so delicious. This recipe will become your go-to during pumpkin spice season. For the best results, opt for fresh pumpkin, easily roasted whole in the oven, then peeled and seeded (Use the remaining for a soup or curry !) With its simplicity and irresistible taste, this pumpkin bread is a must-have for any autumn gathering or cozy afternoon snack.

Chef Tosca Tip

For a caramelized finish, sprinkle the top of the cake with (coconut) sugar before baking. After baking, top with pumpkin seeds for an extra touch of decoration.
