  3. Combine the vegetable oil, eggs, sugar, water and pumkin puree in a mixing bowl and mix gently.
  4. Once combined, add the baking soda, baking powder, salt, vanilla essence and all-purpose flour. 
  5. Mix gently again till flour is well combined.  You may also see some lumps. Do not over mix. It is okay to leave those as is.

Tips:

  1. You can use hand or stand mixer, but I prefer to mix by hands as everything must be done delicately. 
  2. You can add chocolate chips or walnuts to your liking. I find the measurements in this recipe to be perfect. 
  3. Same recipe can be followed with wheat flour instead of all-purpose.
  4. I use vanilla essence, but you can also use vanilla extract if you prefer. 
  5. When mixing the flour, you may see some tiny flour lumps. Do not try to over mix at this point. The lumps will break themselves when baking.
