Light and nutty bulgur adds a pleasant chewiness to this simple coconut syrup butter cake, that is loaded with coarsely grated pumpkin and walnuts. If you want to go nut-free, just leave out the walnuts and replace it with chopped dried dates or figs. The vanilla glaze is optional of course, but I think it adds a fancy festive touch with lemon thyme and pink peppercorns. You can use whatever seasonal touch you prefer.

- Place the bulgur in a saucepan. Pour in boiling water, then put the lid on. Set aside for 10 minutes. It should absorb all the water and have a slightly chewy texture.
- Line the base of a round, 18cm springform cake tin with parchment paper and preheat the oven to 160C (fan-forced) / 320F.
- Transfer the cooked burghul wheat to a mixing bowl with the melted butter, coconut syrup, sugar and eggs, then whisk everything together well. Stir in the lemon zest and juice, grated pumpkin and chopped walnuts.
- Whisk togehter the spelt flour, baking soda and ground cardamom. Sift the mixture into the wet mixture and and mix until everything is combined.
- Spoon the thick batter into the prepared baking tin and bake for about 50 minutes until a skewer comes out clean. Leave to cool in the tin before removing and icing.
- For the icing, combine milk, sifted icing sugar and vanilla paste until smooth and spread over the cake. Garnish the cake with lemon thyme and pink peppercorns.

The cake looks yummy!
I love this topping!!
Una visione golosissima, complimenti!!!!
What a beautiful cake!
Wow this recipe is so interesting! I haven't tried bulgur (cracked wheat) for the cake before. I really wonder its taste very much. This is so new.
Looks nice and healthy and I love it that it does not have milk in the cake itself.
Looks Amazing!
I know you suggest substituting the walnuts with dates for a nut free version, but I wonder if I could be really greedy and use both together? Date and walnut sounds like heaven to me!
Definitely another triumph for you :)
Such beautiful and festive-looking cake.
What a beautiful cake! Looks delicious! I absolutely love pumpkin cakes
Angie, I love that the pumpkin is grated and not puréed. I don't think I've seen that before. I'm going to give it a go. And what a beautiful cake! :-) ~Valentina
Angie, This is an interesting twist or change from our normal fall season pumpkin bread...even though we have frosted it a couple of times. Never tried the Bulgur before and we've always pureed the pumpkin. Take Care, Big Daddy Dave
Looks really nice.

I made a pumpkin soup with a small white pumpkin I had leftover from Halloween, I wish I had seen this lovely cake. I just love how festive it looks with the white icing.
