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!

Prep Time15 minsCook Time45 minsTotal Time1 hr
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.

    Original recipe to use squash in dessert. Easy to make, very indulgent, but, as expected, difficult to cook perfectly even with an extra 10 minutes of cooking time.
