Ingredients
Serves: 12
Batter:
– Peeled raw pumpkin, net weight: 270 g
– Sunflower oil: 135 g
– Eggs: 3
– Vanilla sugar (or vanilla extract): 1 sachet
– Granulated sugar: 200 g
– All-purpose flour: 320 g
– Baking powder: 15 g
– Chocolate chips: 100 g
For the pan and finishing:
– Softened butter for the pan: 20 g
– Flour for the pan: 2 tbsp
– Powdered sugar for dusting: 1 tbsp
Preparation
Total time: 1 h 20 min
Prep: 30 min
Baking: 50 min
1. Preheat the oven
Preheat your oven to 180°C (about 350°F) using the conventional (non-fan) setting.
2. Prepare the pan
If your mold is not silicone, thoroughly butter and flour a kugelhopf or bundt pan (22 cm / about 9 inches works well).
3. Make the pumpkin puree
Peel the pumpkin and chop it into small pieces. In a food processor, blend the pumpkin together with the sunflower oil until you have a smooth puree. Set aside.
4. Make the batter
In a large mixing bowl, add the eggs and the vanilla sugar. Begin beating, gradually adding the granulated sugar a little at a time and mixing briefly between additions. Continue until the mixture turns pale and becomes airy. Stir in the pumpkin puree and mix briefly to combine. Next, add the flour mixed with the baking powder in three additions, mixing on low speed until the batter is uniform. Finally, fold in the chocolate chips using a spoon or a spatula.
5. Bake
Pour the batter into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly. Bake for about 50 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted in the center comes out clean.
Service
Allow the cake to cool, then unmold it, dust with powdered sugar, and serve.
Notes: The pumpkin puree gives the cake a moist texture and a warm, golden color without a strong pumpkin flavor. You can substitute any winter squash or even carrots if you prefer; they all pair nicely with the chocolate chips. Enjoy!
