This one turned out beautifully as well.  I've iced it with the buttercream icing recipe that was posted here.

@HomeMum - thanks for this great recipe. I just used a double batch in my Wilton decorative tin and it worked perfectly. A huge relief after 3 failed attempts using a mudcake recipe which kept sticking.
Being a large tin I think in the end it was baking for about 60 mins in total. I let it cool down for 10 mins. Trimmed off the excess and then flipped onto a large rack.

Thanks for the conversion. Lady Flo can make more than pumpkin scones.

 ;D Yum, do we have the pumpkin scone recipe too.

You could add so much to this.

Thanks,

I converted the pumpkin scone recipe  (http://www.forumthermomix.com/index.php?topic=3066.msg35143#msg35143) ages ago Robyn but have only made them once so can't really remember what they were like.  There don't appear to have been too many testers either.

I am now going to put it in the freezer till Thursday. Thaw it overnight and then decorate it Friday for DS1's birthday party on Saturday morning. Will post a pic of the finished cake next week and report back how it ended up tasting.

 @HomeMum, try icing the cake whilst it is still frozen. It will be easier to ice as you won't have a problem with crumbs in the icing.
