Equipment

  • oven

Ingredients

  • 6 eggs
  • 280 grams or 2 cups of sugar
  • 320 grams or 2 ¼ cups of pumpkin puree
  • 600 grams or 4 ¼ cups of common all-purpose wheat flour
  • 2 teaspoons of baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon of soda bicarbonate
  • 1 teaspoon of salt
  • 1 teaspoon of ground or grated ginger
  • 1 teaspoon of nutmeg
  • 1 teaspoon of cinnamon powder

Instructions

  • Start by beating the eggs at a high speed for 5 minutes, until they get lighter and double their volume.
  • Then add the sugar and keep beating for one more minute until you finish mixing them.
  • Next, pour the pumpkin puree bit by bit and keep beating for another minute.
  • In another bowl, sift and mix all the dry ingredients: the flour, the salt, the soda bicarbonate, the baking powder and the spices, cinnamon, ginger and nutmeg.
  • Add the previous mixture to the mixture of eggs and sugar and beat at a low speed for 8 minutes.
  • Prepare the mold by putting some grease or flour or sprinkle it with a non-stick spray to then pour all the mixture of the cake.
  • Take it to the oven, which must be pre-heated at 150 °C or 300 °F, for 35 or 40 minutes until is well cooked. The time will depend on the kind of oven.
  • To check if it’s ready, prick the middle of the dough with a toothpick, if it’s clean when you take it out, then the cake is ready.
  • Take the cake out of the oven and let it cool inside the mold for 10 minutes because it will still be hot and it might break when unmolding.
  • At last, unmold it onto a rack and let it completely cool at room temperature.
  • Once the pumpkin cake is done you can have it after it has cooled down, you can also add some stuffing or topping, the one with cheese matches perfectly with its flavor.
