Recipe for Pumpkin and Coconut Cake

Yields8 ServingsPrep Time15 minsCook Time45 minsTotal Time1 hr

For food lovers, sweet pumpkin is very much appreciated, but there's always a bit of chocolate. I could have added some chocolate chips to the cake, but I preferred to cover it with a thick layer of ganache. Yummy!

Ingredients
 150 softened butter
 2 eggs
 150 powdered sugar
 200 Flour
 10 Baking powder
 50 Coconut
 15 Milk
 400 pumpkin flesh
 1 pinch salt
Directions
1

Preheat the oven to 160°C, fan forced.

2

Place the flesh of the pumpkin in a mixing bowl, cover it, and heat in the microwave for 8 minutes at 900 Watts. Use a fork to mash the flesh and let it cool.

3

In a second mixing bowl, whip the softened butter with the sugar. While continuing to whip, add the eggs one by one, then the flour, baking powder, milk, a pinch of salt, and the shredded coconut.

4

Finally, incorporate the pumpkin puree. Mix everything together and pour the batter into a greased cake pan.

5

Bake for 45 minutes at 160°C. Let it cool before removing from the mold.

6

To finish, for a more indulgent version, coat the top of your cake with chocolate ganache (heat 50ml of cream and pour it over 50g of dark chocolate before mixing) and a bit of grated coconut.
