They have a rich, great taste, amazing aroma, delicate and fluffy texture. Even those who do not like pumpkin will definitely eat a cupcake with it with pleasure. Because it is not felt in them.

Step by step cooking pumpkin cake, recipe with photo:
1. Peel the pumpkin, rinse and grate. Add orange zest, sugar and a pinch of salt. If there is no dry rind, then grate fresh from one orange.
2. Add flour to the food, sift through a fine sieve to enrich it with oxygen, and mix well.
3. Place the eggs in a separate container and beat with a mixer until fluffy and double in volume.
4. Pour the beaten egg mass into a container with dough. Stir, add baking soda and stir again. If you are not going to bake immediately after kneading the dough, then do not add soda. Place it just before baking. Otherwise, it will lose its properties to lift baked goods.
5. Grease a baking dish or line with baking parchment and pour out the dough.
6. Heat the oven to 180 degrees and send the product to bake for 40 minutes. Check readiness with a wooden splinter. Pierce the middle of the cake with a toothpick, it should be free from sticking of the dough. If pieces of dough stick to the stick, continue baking for another 5 minutes and check the doneness again.
Leave the finished cake to cool in the form, then remove it and decorate with fondant, icing or sprinkle with powdered sugar.
