1. Combine the flour, cocoa, cinnamon and salt together in a large mixing bowl and set aside.
2. Combine the remaining ingredients together in a second bowl, then add to the dry ingredients and fold the two gently together using a spatula.
3. Pour mixture into a greased and lined cake tin and bake for 30 minutes in the oven, or until golden brown. Check the cake by inserting a knife into the centre. If it comes out clean, your cake is cooked.
CREAMY PUMPKIN ICING

1⁄2 cup mashed pumpkin
3 tbs tahini
3 fresh dates
1⁄2 tsp cinnamon

1. Combine all ingredients in a food processor or blender and process until smooth, creamy and spreadable. Alternatively, you could mash all ingredients together with a fork. Your icing won’t be as smooth, but will be equally as delicious!

1 cup walnuts
6 pitted medjool dates
3 tbs cacao
1 pinch salt

Roll into dessert-spoon sized balls and puncture with lollies, seeds or nuts to resemble spider legs and spooky eyes! We used licorice and red candies for our spiders.
