Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 180 degrees.
  • Prepare the coffee and let it dissolve in the soluble one.
  • Grease and lightly flour a 20/22 cm diameter tin.
  • Sift flour, baking powder and salt twice into a bowl.
  • In a bowl or in the planetary mixer, whip the eggs with the sugar until you get a nice frothy mixture, add the pumpkin and continue to whisk. Add the oil and the coffee. Stir in the flours and work the mixture just enough to mix well.
  • Pour everything into the pan and level.
  • Cook for 35/40 minutes or until the appetizer comes out completely dry.
  • Let it cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Prepare the icing:
