Honey cake with pumpkin

This cake is unusual in that honey is used instead of sugar. Also, a relatively large amount of diced pumpkin is added to the dough. Fans of this healthy vegetable, and delicious homemade cakes in general, will be satisfied with the recipe!

Ingredients

• Honey - 60 g
• Soft butter - 50 g
• Flour - 50 g
• Baking powder - 0.5 tsp
• Egg - 1 pc.
• Pumpkin - 100 g
• Grated nutmeg - 1 pinch

Directions

1. In a bowl, combine soft butter and honey. Honey is better to use liquid; if it's sugary, melt it in the microwave.
2. Beat the honey and butter with a mixer for a minute, add the egg yolk and beat again.
3. Pour the flour sifted with baking powder into the honey-butter mixture and add the grated nutmeg. (If you like, you can replace nutmeg with cinnamon, cloves, or a mixture of these spices.)
4. Stir the dough, add the egg white, whipped into a strong foam.
5. Gently fold the egg white into the batter.
6. Clean the pumpkin from the peel and seeds. Cut pumpkin pulp into small cubes. Pumpkin is better to take sweet, ripe, with bright orange flesh.
7. Add pumpkin cubes to the batter.
8. Stir.
9. Cover the bottom of a baking dish with a diameter of 17-18 cm with parchment. Pour the dough into the prepared form.
10. Bake the pumpkin pie in a preheated oven at 180 degrees for about 30 minutes. For a cake with double the ingredients, the baking time should be increased.
11. Remove the finished honey cake with pumpkin from the mold, cool, cut into pieces and serve.
12. Bon appetit!
