Mod de preparare

Pas cu pas

1
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease and flour a 20cm (8-inch) round cake pan.
Aproximativ 5 min.
Nota bucătarului: 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.
Aproximativ 10 min.
Nota bucătarului: 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.
Aproximativ 5 min.
Nota bucătarului: 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.
Aproximativ 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.
Aproximativ 3 min.
Nota bucătarului: 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.
Aproximativ 5 min.
Nota bucătarului: Do not overmix the batter; mix until ingredients are just incorporated.
7
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan.
Aproximativ 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.
Aproximativ 45 min.
Nota bucătarului: 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.
Aproximativ 15 min.
Nota bucătarului: 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.
Aproximativ 1 oră
Nota bucătarului: A small sieve works well for an even dusting of sugar.
