Procedure

Follow our pumpkin cake recipe, and you will be rewarded with a final result that will conquer your taste buds. The mix of sweetness and creamy texture will make every bite an unforgettable experience.

Prepare the pumpkin: Cut the pumpkin into slices and bake it until tender. It will take 40 to 50 minutes depending on thickness.
Once cooked, remove the skin and blend the pumpkin.
Blend the roasted pumpkin until smooth. Let it cool before mixing it with the other ingredients for the batter.
In a large bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, baking powder, and a pinch of salt.
Add the sunflower oil and eggs. Mix until homogeneous.
Add the cooled pumpkin puree to the mixture and mix well.
Use parchment paper to cover the base and sides of the springform pan; this will make it easier to remove the cake once baked.
Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool completely before serving. Dust with a generous amount of powdered sugar.
Your pumpkin cake is ready!
