The recipe

Steps 6 steps

Preheat the oven to 180 °C and butter a 24 cm round pan.
Whisk the eggs with the sugar, then add the oil and the pumpkin purée.
Add the flour, baking powder, spices and salt, and mix just enough.
Pour into the pan and bake for 35 to 40 minutes: the tip of a knife should come out dry. Let it cool completely.
For the frosting, whisk the cream cheese with the softened butter and powdered sugar, and color it orange.
Cover the cake with frosting, draw pumpkin ribs from the center to the edge with the back of a spoon, and stick the cinnamon stick in the center.
