when Irene strongly recommended this cake, my fingers got truly itchy
the time couldn’t be better as my dad asked for a cake to be brought to his dinner entertainment with some guests tonight
so this whole loaf goes to him
当 Irene 上了这绝对推荐的食谱后，手指立马发痒
刚好到访的老爸今晚有饭局，要求偶给他烤个么么蛋糕好招待客人。。
好！那偶就献丑啦

Hi Victoria, your beautiful pumpkin butter cake really made me \”haiz! … can see can\’t eat\” … I love the slices of pumpkins and pistachio decor, lovely ^-^!
大家都说好吃，我也有这个年头想做呵呵。。
这个蛋糕被你装饰得太漂亮了啦。。
第一次到访，蛋糕好好看哦，应该好好吃。从Irene家看到你家，让我也还有冲动想做一回。
Look great and some more you said highly recommended, i must try it! 🙂
Love your presentation of this velvety pumpkin butter cake, bet your dad\’s guests enjoyed it much!
VB, I have also eyed on Irene\’s recipe. And I told her that if I even bake a butter/pound cake, it must be her pumpkin cake & when I see this post comes with \”highly recommended,\” I decided to come to take a look & walah, it\’s the same source of recipe, how can i resist, haha. Thanks for sharing.
Hi Victoria. May I know what loaf pan size you used for this recipe. Thanks a lot.
Hi, it\’s L22 x W7.5 x H7.5cm
Hi, I tried this recipe but it turned out really dry. Need your advice – I did notice the batter curdled a bit when I added in the eggs in batches. Could that be the reason or is it just a case of reducing the oven time?
Hi, curdling is normal as it means one of your ingredients is slightly colder, most likely butter. But this will ease out with addition of flour and sufficient mixing. Your dry cake is a result of over baking . Do check the temperature of your oven . You can either reduce temp or baking time
Thanks Victoria! For the oven setting, should I put on fan mode or without?
All my recipes are non fan setting
Thanks so much. can’t wait to try it again!
