Notes
If you cant find canned pumpkin, please check out the below links to see how you can make this fresh pumpkin here, here and here.
I used a 7 inch round tin and 6 inch loaf tin for this qty. Also I made 12 std size cupcakes. But the cupcakes didnt turn out well. You can store this cake at room temp for 3-4 days. Make sure you store it in an airtight container, otherwise the crunchy topping may become soft.
