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.

  Yum, do we have the pumpkin scone recipe too.

You could add so much to this.

Thanks,
Robyn

I converted the pumpkin scone recipe 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.

Wow, looks amazing.  Wish you were around to make my daughter's birthday cake for friday.

 @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.

Can't wait to see the finished birthday cake. Will look fantastic I bet
