Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients

  

• 5 eggs
• 1 cup flour
• 1 cup sugar
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1 pinch vanillin
• 200 g pumpkin puree homemade - see step 1

Method

 

1. Make the puree: cut the pumpkin into pieces, simmer in a saucepan with a little water and 30 g of butter, then blend with an immersion blender and let cool.
2. Beat the eggs with the sugar into a light foam.
3. Sift the flour, baking powder, and vanillin into the egg mixture and beat again.
4. Add the pumpkin puree and walnuts, and beat once more. Pour the batter into a pan greased with vegetable oil.
5. Bake in a preheated 180-190°C oven for 34-40 minutes. Let cool - and it's ready to eat. Enjoy!
   

Notes

The puree for the cake needs to be cooled - if it's hot, it will deflate the beaten egg foam.
