Halloween cakes

Cream the cashews, butter, salt, sugar, and eggs until creamy. Then carefully stir in the flour, baking powder, and milk. Fold in the pumpkin flesh and mix on high for about 3 minutes until creamy. Pour the batter into 12 muffin cups and bake on the middle rack at 175 degrees Celsius for about 25 minutes. Let the muffins cool. Mix the powdered sugar with a little carrot juice to form a smooth glaze that is not too thin. Spread about 1 teaspoon of glaze onto each cooled muffin and decorate each with a cashew. Let the glaze set. For Halloween, you can of course put any other decorations on the muffins. There are, for example, bats from Hari… or similar.
