Ingredients
Pumpkin | 400 g |
Chicken eggs | 3 pcs. |
Sugar | 200 g |
Flour | 300 g |
Vegetable oil | 70 g |
Lemon | ½ pcs |
Baking powder for the dough | 1 package |
Cinnamon | 1 tsp |
Vanillin | 1 pinch |
Step cooking
- Drive 3 chicken eggs into a deep container and mix until smooth. Then add 200 g of sugar and beat until it is completely dissolved and foam.
- Sift 300 g of flour into the egg mass, 1 tsp. ground cinnamon and 1 package of baking powder for dough (or 1 tsp. baking soda). Mix until smooth.
- Pour 70 g of vegetable oil with a thin stream and mix the dough so that the ingredients evenly disperse. A little butter can be added while beating eggs with sugar to make the dough more airy and crumbly.
- Wash the pumpkin, peel it, cut into convenient pieces and rub them on a large or medium grater. If the pumpkin is very juicy, you can squeeze it a little.
- Add the grated pumpkin to the dough and squeeze the juice of half a lemon there. Again, mix everything until smooth.
To make the cake taste more saturated inside, add bananas, raisins, dried apricots, nuts or cocoa to the dough. - The form, depending on its material, is either lubricated with oil or covered with baking paper. Pour dough into it and bake it in a preheated oven to 190ºС for 40-60 minutes. We check the readiness with a wooden stick - it should come out of the cake dry and without the rest of the dough.
- Let the cake cool, put it on a serving plate and decorate with any cream, icing sugar, chocolate, glaze, coconut, candied fruit, marmalade, crushed nuts or other goodies of your choice.
Did you know? The record for the mass of pumpkins grown belongs to the farmer from Belgium Matthias Willemans. The fruit weighed 2,623.5 pounds (1,190.5 kg) and thus set a new world record, officially confirmed by the Guinness Book of Records. According to Willemans, fertilizers and love for his work helped him grow such a big pumpkin.
