Pumpkin dishes are very diverse in their intended purpose. Cream soups are made from this vegetable, various casseroles are made, desserts are baked, porridge is prepared, and of course, pumpkin is very tasty in baked goods. Today I have just that case when a vegetable familiar to many will give a bright mood and provide an opportunity to enjoy deliciousness. Pumpkin pie turns out to be not only tasty, but also soft. And if you add orange or lemon zest to it, with which the pumpkin is in perfect harmony, then the baked goods will have a richer citrus aroma.
You can serve this cake yourself, but you can show imagination and make a real confectionery creation out of it. For example, grease with chocolate icing, cut in half lengthwise into two cakes and coat with cream, add cocoa powder to the dough so that the cake turns out to be chocolate. Then the product is a priority for a real festive look. And if you want more variety, you can put dried apricots, raisins, nuts, dried cranberries in the dough. In addition, you can cook the cake in portioned silicone molds, which will provide the product with a beautiful pattern. In addition, based on this pie, you can make products not only with pumpkin, but also with carrots, beets, apples, zucchini, cherries and other products.
