This dark, moist, sticky cake is a must to accompany your mid-morning coffee on the 31st October, but it’s a treat at any time of year.

To serve 12 to 14, you’ll need:

650g black treacle
1 cup (2 sticks) plus 2 tablespoons unsalted butter at room temperature
80ml very strong black coffee, preferably made from freshly ground coffee beans
600g self-raising flour
3 teaspoons ground ginger
1 teaspoon ground cloves
4 teaspoons ground cinnamon
2 teaspoons ground nutmeg
2 large freerange eggs
570g plain yoghurt or creme fraiche
icing sugar for dusting

What to do

Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius. Grease a tin approximately 20cm by 30cm, and line the bottom and sides with greaseproof paper.
Put the ‘wet’ ingredients, i.e. the treacle, butter and coffee in a large saucepan, and heat gently until the treacle melts and everything is fully combined. Remove from the heat and allow to cool.
To the now-cool saucepan, add the spices and salt. Mix to make a stiff batter, then whisk in the eggs. Fold in the yoghurt or creme fraiche, mixing until just combined, and spoon the batter into the tin. Use the back of a spoon to even the mixture out.
Bake for around 50 to 60 minutes, until a skewer inserted into the thickest part of the cake comes out cleanly, with no uncooked cake mixture adhering to it. Allow to cool slightly in the tin.
Turn the cake out onto a wire cooling rack, and remove the paper. Leave to cool, then dust with icing sugar and cut into slices.

If you’re running a commercial coffee business, such as a coffee shop or restaurant, you’ll now how important seasonal sales can be. Gear up for Hallowe’en with our pumpkin cake and Hallowe’en special coffee.

For the cake:

Pre-heat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius, and prepare a shallow 23cm square baking tin by greasing and lining with greaseproof paper.

Ingredients:

200g sultanas, raisins, dried cherries, cranberries, orange peel or a mixture
300g self raising flour
300g sugar
200g butter or margarine, melted
1 teaspoon each of ginger, nutmeg and cinnamon
4 eggs
500g pumpkin flesh, roughly grated (this is most easily done in a food processor)

In a large bowl, mix all the ingredients together except the pumpkin and the dried fruit. Beat together thoroughly until you have a smooth batter. Stir in the pumpkin and fruit, and spoon the batter into the prepared tin. Smooth it out evenly with the back of a spoon, and tap the tin on the kitchen worktop to remove any air bubbles. Put the tin in the oven for 25 – 30 minutes, until the cake is well risen and the top is slightly springy to the touch. Prick the cake in the centre with a clean skewer, and if the skewer comes out cleanly with no trace of cake mixture, the cake is ready. Leave to cool slightly in the tin, then turn out onto a cooling rack. When fully cool, cut into squares. Serve with Hallowe’en coffee.

For the coffee:

Make a latte as per normal, but add spoonfuls of cinnamon, nutmeg and ginger to the coffee before brewing, so that the spices are brewed along with the drink. Sweeten to taste, then hold a pumpkin or other Hallowe’en template over the drink and dust it with cocoa.
