Pumpkin muffins/cake

I wanted to use the spare pumpkin i got to make pumpkin muffins, but when the dough was ready, i couldn't find muffin shapes, so i putted it in cake shape instead hehe.

I followed mostly this recipe on vegweb: Pumpkin Spice Raisin Muffins 
The idea for pumpkin puree i found here on Vegandads cool blog (i wanted to make this too but got too lazy xD) and i searched with ecosia on how to make pumpkin puree (but i was too lazy to do/remember what they said) =p

Well here is what i did:

Ingredients:
1 dl whole wheat flour
0,5 dl sugar
About 0,5 teaspoon baking powder
About 0,25 teaspoon baking soda
About 0,5 teaspoon vanilla suger
About 0,25 teaspoon ginger
About 0,25 teaspoon nutmeg
About 0,5-1 teaspoon cinnamon (i just poured in hehe)
And you can also add cloves if you got, i dont have =(
About 0,5 teaspoon lemon juice
About 0,5 tablespoons vegetable oil
And then i have no idea how much pumpkin puree* i added, but i guess it was about 1 dl or so =p
And i also radded some raisins, i guess 0,25 - 0,5 dl xD

*First i cutted my remaining pumpkin (maybe 10x5 cm or so, i dont remember =p) in pieces and had them on a sheet in the oven on 200°C to try to make pumpkin puree. I think they were there for 20-30 minutes and i turned them once, then i putted them in a blender and blended them to a puree-like consistency. There's probably better ways to make it, but this worked more or less xD
For the cake i first added the dry ingredients and mixed, then the pumpkin puree, lemon juice and oil and mixed it, and last i added the raisins. Depending on your amount and liquidity of the pumpkin puree you may need more flour or liquid =p
Then i poured the mix into my beloved 13x13 cm cakeshape after a wild search for the cupcake shapes that i didnt find (so if you want cupcakes then do that hehe, should be like 2-4 cupcakes in this recipe @_@) and had it in the oven on about 200°C (i think, my oven is a bit evil on the temperatures so could be im wrong xD) for about 20 minutes =p

I managed to take a picture before i ate all as well hehe =)
