Dark Chocolate and Pumpkin Loaf
Makes 10-12 slices
Ingredients
1˝cups caster sugar
250g cooked pumpkin
˝ cup vegetable oil
1/3 cup water
1 3/4 cups plain flour
2 eggs
1 teaspoon cinnamon
˝ teaspoon nutmeg
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
180g good cooking chocolate. I used Lindt 70% roughly chopped.
˝ cup walnuts, chopped roughly
Preparation
Preheat oven to 1600C
Grease and line a medium loaf tin.
Place sugar, pumpkin, oil, water and eggs. Speed 3-4 until smooth.
Add flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, baking powder and salt. :: until incorporated.
I added the chocolate and walnuts by hand. I just stirred them in with a spatula.
Place into the prepared loaf tin.
Bake for approximately 1 hour to 1 hour 15 minutes.
Leave 15 minutes before turning out.
This can be toasted but I like it as it is.

Next time I make this I think I will reduce the amount of chocolate s little. I slice this, wrap it in glad wrap and freeze. It only takes a short time to defrost. I was given the recipe when a new Jamaica Blue coffee shop opened near me and they were serving this. They don't seem to serve it any more.

This sounds delicious Cookie. 8) I wonder why they stopped serving it at the coffee shop ???

Just remembered to put the photo in. I don't know CC. I think Lindt may have been sponsoring them at the beginning as you were always given a small Lindt chocolate as well.

Looks delicious Cookie. I love the old fashioned pumpkin fruit cake but I bet this is equally as good. They probably gave that recipe to so many people that no-one bought it anymore - why would you when you could make it yourself :D
