Pumpkin pie with a warm heart

If you love soft-centered cakes... prepare to fall in love with this autumnal version! This warm-centered pumpkin cake is a treasure trove of sweetness, with a creamy and irresistible center. They're made with just a few ingredients (plus the clever trick of using raw pumpkin!).

Ingredients · Servings 6 cupcakes
  • 100g of white chocolate
  • 25 g of butter
  • 25 g of sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 40 g of 00 flour
  • 75 gr of cleaned pumpkin

Method · 12 min
  1. First, cut the pumpkin into small cubes, then blend it until you obtain a smooth cream.
  2. Separately, melt both the butter and the chocolate pieces, in the microwave or in a bain-marie.
  3. Combine them together and mix well, then add the egg, sugar and vanilla.
  4. Finally, add the sifted flour and the pumpkin cream.
  5. Divide the mixture into well-buttered and floured baking cups, filling them to within 1 cm of the rim. Bake for 12 minutes in a preheated oven at 180°C, then remove from the oven and invert onto a plate, then remove the cup.
  6. The warm-hearted pumpkin tart is ready; all you have to do is decorate it with a little icing sugar and enjoy.

If you love soft-centered cakes... prepare to fall in love with this autumnal version! This warm-centered pumpkin cake is a treasure trove of sweetness, with a creamy and irresistible center. They're made with just a few ingredients (plus the clever trick of using raw pumpkin!), and a melt-in-the-mouth center is guaranteed if you bake them just right (I've already tested them several times, trust me!). This time, I used just a little vanilla for flavoring, but you can also get creative and use cinnamon, ginger, or a mix of autumnal spices. Perfect enjoyed warm, dusted with powdered sugar, perhaps with a steaming cup of tea on the side.
