- Add the dry ingredients to the pumpkin-butter mixture and stir until you get an even dough.
- Pour the batter in a buttered loaf tin and bake for one hour. Check on the cake with a skewer; when it comes out clean, the cake is ready.
Icing

- If you like cardamom, add it to the mixture and stir again. Put the icing into the fridge to set a little before decorating the cake.
- Once the cake is done, let cool. Afterwards spread the frosting on the cake and decorate with the candied pumpkin seeds.
- Enjoy!!!
