Pumpkin cake

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 5 hr

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make a pumpkin cake? Prepare the ingredients for the crusts. Choose sweet, dessert varieties of pumpkin. Take refined, odorless vegetable oil.

2. STEP 2

   

   Peel the pumpkin and remove the soft part with seeds. Cut the pulp into cubes.

3. STEP 3

   

   Grind raw pumpkin into puree using a blender (chopper). If the pumpkin is not juicy and does not grind well, you can add a couple of tablespoons of boiled water during the grinding process to make the puree more homogeneous.

4. STEP 4

   

   Measure out exactly one cup of pumpkin puree.

5. STEP 5

   

   Break two eggs into a bowl, add some sugar and start beating. Be sure to wash your eggs before using them, as even seemingly clean shells can harbor harmful bacteria. It is best to use food grade detergents and a brush.

6. STEP 6

   

   Gradually add all the sugar and beat the eggs until fluffy and light. Pour in the vegetable oil, add baking powder, vanillin (optional), sifted flour and knead the dough using a mixer at low speed. It is important to sift the flour to saturate it with oxygen. Then the baked goods will turn out airy and rise well during baking.

7. STEP 7

   

   Then add pumpkin puree to the dough and mix gently with a spoon.

8. STEP 8

   

   Transfer the dough into the multicooker bowl and set to bake on the “Pie” or “Baking” mode (depending on the multicooker model). Pumpkin dough can also be baked in the oven; to do this, transfer the dough into a springform pan and place in the oven preheated to 180 degrees for 40 minutes. Baking time may vary, it all depends on your oven. Check the doneness of the pumpkin cake with a toothpick.

9. STEP 9

   

   Remove the finished pumpkin cake and let it cool completely on a wire rack. It is advisable to let him rest for a couple of hours.

10. STEP 10

    

    Cut the cooled sponge cake into three layers. The cakes are beautifully colored, from yellow to orange depending on the type of pumpkin.

11. STEP 11

    

    Prepare the cream. How to make cream? Prepare food for him. You can reduce the amount of sugar to taste. Take the fattest and thickest sour cream, natural, without vegetable fats. To ensure that the cream holds its shape well and does not flow, you can weigh out the sour cream in gauze overnight. The whey will drain from it and it will become very thick, similar to cream cheese.

12. STEP 12

    

    Beat sour cream with sugar until sugar is completely dissolved.

13. STEP 13

    

    Thickly coat each cake with cream. Grease the sides and top of the cake well too.

14. STEP 14

    

    Let the pumpkin cake soak for at least two hours. Better yet, leave it in the refrigerator overnight. Before serving, decorate the cake to your taste. You can, like me, sprinkle the top of the cake with grated chocolate and decorate with fruit. Bon appetit!

I love homemade cakes, they are moderately sweet and without unnecessary chemicals. And now I wanted to try this cake. I did everything according to the recipe, the only thing was that I added condensed milk to the sour cream instead of sugar. The biscuit turned out soft and porous. Cut it with thread. It turned out very tasty, thank you very much for the recipe ❤
