Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease an 8-inch cake pan with cooking spray. (5 minutes)

02

Step

In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined. Add the mashed pumpkin and stir to incorporate. (5 minutes)

03

Step

In a separate bowl, whisk together honey, milk, oil, and egg. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix. (3 minutes)

04

Step

Pour batter into the prepared cake pan. Gently press the chopped cashews into the batter, arranging them artfully for a beautiful presentation. (2 minutes)

05

Step

Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, approximately 35 to 40 minutes. (40 minutes)

06

Step

Let the cake cool in the pan for 5 to 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely. (10 minutes)

For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding 1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon and 1/4 teaspoon of ground nutmeg to the dry ingredients.
If you don't have cashews, other nuts like pecans or walnuts would also work well.
To ensure the cake releases easily, you can line the bottom of the cake pan with parchment paper before greasing it.
The cake can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
