Pumpkin (Cheese) Cake

Whole month of October it was all about Halloween and pumpkins 🎃 so I also finally got my hands on making one pumpkin pie/cake. 🍰

Ingredients:

1 cup pumpkin puree

1 cup Stevia (or other sugar substitute)

1 teaspoon baking powder

1 teaspoon vanilla

1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice

Pinch of salt

4 large eggs

200g almond flour or hazelnut flour

quark

heavy whip cream

gelatin (gelling agent)

Method:

Grease well a cake pan. 

In a bowl, mix together - pumpkin puree, stevia, baking powder, vanilla, spice and salt, until all well mixed. 

Beat in the eggs, then add the flour. If needed add a little bit of water so that batter would be thick, but pourable. 

Pour batter in the pan and bake at 150°C (300°F) for about 60-75 minutes, until the cake pulls away from the sides of the pan and a toothpick comes out clean. 

Let it to cool down completely in the pan on a rack. 

Dissolve gelatin.

Beat quark and heavy whip until smooth and add gelatin. Mix all well.

Pour cream on top of cake and place in a fridge for some hours (2-4h) or overnight.

Now it is ready to be enjoyed with a cup of homemade pumpkin spice latte  ☕ yuumm! 😋
