Valmistusohje

Vaihe vaiheelta

1
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease and flour a 20cm (8-inch) round cake pan.
Noin 5 min
Kokin vinkki: Ensure the pan is thoroughly greased and floured to prevent sticking.
2
In a medium saucepan, combine the granulated sugar and water. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves. Continue to boil for 5 minutes without stirring, creating a thin syrup.
Noin 10 min
Kokin vinkki: Do not stir once the syrup is boiling to prevent crystallization.
3
Remove the syrup from the heat and let it cool slightly for about 5 minutes.
Noin 5 min
Kokin vinkki: The syrup should still be warm but not scalding hot when adding the yolks.
4
In a large bowl, whisk the egg yolks until smooth.
Noin 2 min
5
Slowly pour the warm syrup into the whisked egg yolks in a thin stream, whisking continuously to prevent the yolks from scrambling.
Noin 3 min
Kokin vinkki: Pouring slowly and whisking constantly is crucial for a smooth batter.
6
Add the almond flour, softened butter, pumpkin puree, lemon zest, and ground cinnamon to the egg yolk mixture. Mix until just combined and smooth.
Noin 5 min
Kokin vinkki: Do not overmix the batter; mix until ingredients are just incorporated.
7
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan.
Noin 1 min
8
Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. The cake should be golden brown on top.
Noin 45 min
Kokin vinkki: Baking times can vary, so check for doneness around the 40-minute mark.
9
Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 15 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Noin 15 min
Kokin vinkki: Letting it cool slightly in the pan helps prevent it from breaking when unmolding.
10
Once completely cool, dust the top with a mixture of the dusting granulated sugar and powdered sugar before serving.
Noin 1 t
Kokin vinkki: A small sieve works well for an even dusting of sugar.
