Once you have done bake the pumpkin, use a spoon on scoop and scoop out the pulp and puree in blender or you can also use the food processor until the pumpkin turns smooth. To extract the liquid, strain through a cheesecloth line strainer and cool the puree before using. But just remember that if you decided to use the pumpkin nit the canned pumpkin, the fresh one would be so much better and make the cake result better.
