Method

Cut the stem from top of the pumpkin to allow the steam to escape while baking. Bake the pumpkin at 175°C until soft. Remove seeds and scoop the pulp into a large bowl. Alternatively peel and dice the pumpkin and cook the pulp with some water in a pan on medium heat for about 30 minutes!

In a blender combine sugar, butter, eggs, water and 250g of the pumpkin pulp and process until smooth. In a bowl mix together flour, baking powder, walnuts, soda, salt, cinnamon, ginger and ground cloves. Add the mixture into the blender and pulse only for 30-40 seconds until just combined.

Preheat the oven to 175°. Transfer the dough into a greased baking pan and bake for 55 minutes.
