Spiced Pumpkin and Walnut Cake

  • 2 tsp freshly grated ginger
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/3 cup water
  • 1 cup maple syrup
  • 1/2 cup agave syrup
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil, plus more for the pan
  • 1 cup pureed pumpkin, fresh or canned
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 2 cups white spelt flour
  • 1/2 cup buckwheat flour
  • 3/4 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp ground cloves
  • 1/2 tsp allspice
  • 1 tsp garam masala

Preheat the oven to 350°F.  Whisk together the ginger, eggs, water, maple syrup, agave, oil, pumpkin, and vanilla in a large mixing bowl.  Sift in the flours, baking soda, salt, and spices.  Stir together and fold in the walnuts.  Lightly grease a 9” x 5” x 3” glass loaf pan.  Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake until browned and a wooden skewer doesn’t have any batter stuck to it when you test it, about an hour and ten minutes.
