Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 medium eggs
  • 140 grams brown sugar (or brown sugar)
  • 110 grams coconut oil (or sunflower oil)
  • 170 grams pumpkin puree
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 200 grams wheat flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 3 teaspoons pumpkin spice
  • 100 grams powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons milk (approximate)
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 175 degrees Celsius (upper and lower heat). This is important for even baking and achieving the perfect texture.
  2. Grease a small springform pan (20-22 cm) and dust it with flour to prevent sticking and allow for easy removal later.
  3. In a large bowl, beat the eggs with the sugar until frothy for several minutes, ensuring the mixture becomes light and creamy, which should take about 3-5 minutes.
  4. Briefly stir in the coconut oil, pumpkin puree, vanilla extract, and optional maple syrup. The mixture should be well combined but not overworked.
  5. In a separate bowl, mix all the dry ingredients: wheat flour, baking powder, and pumpkin spice, ensuring there are no lumps and everything is evenly distributed.
  6. Add the dry ingredients to the egg mixture and stir vigorously but only briefly until well combined. Be careful not to overmix to avoid a dense cake.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared springform pan and place it in the preheated oven. Bake the cake for 25 minutes, ensuring it rises beautifully and turns lightly golden.
  8. After 25 minutes, cover the cake with aluminum foil to prevent over-browning and bake for an additional 20 minutes. Perform the toothpick test: if a toothpick comes out clean, the cake is done.
  9. Allow the cake to cool in the pan. It should still be slightly moist inside, giving it the perfect consistency.
  10. Prepare the glaze by mixing the sifted powdered sugar with milk and maple syrup until smooth. Use just enough milk to achieve the desired consistency. Spread the glaze evenly over the cooled cake.

Nutrition

Keywords: Avoid overmixing the batter to prevent a dense cake. Use fresh, high-quality eggs for the best results, and consider adding nuts or chocolate chips for extra texture and flavor.
