Ingredients

Pumpkin 200g low-gluten flour 40g caster sugar 25g vegetable oil 10g eggs 3 lemons 1 slice

Steps

1 1. Peel the pumpkin and cut it into small pieces.

2. Pour cold water into the pot. After the water boils, continue to steam over high heat for about 15 minutes.

3. Let cool slightly and put it into a food processor.

4. Add 10g vegetable oil and beat together to make pumpkin puree. For vegetable oil, it is recommended to use light corn oil or sunflower oil.

5. Separate the egg yolks and egg whites and put them in clean, oil-free and water-free mixing bowls.

6. Pour out 190g of pumpkin puree and mix with egg yolk.

7. Stir until completely combined.

8. Sift in 40g of low-gluten flour.

9. Make a Z-shape to mix the batter evenly. Do not stir in circular motions to prevent the batter from forming gluten and affecting the taste.

10. Squeeze a few drops of lemon juice into the egg whites to remove the eggy smell and increase the flavor of the cake.

11. Add 25g of fine sugar into the egg whites in 3 batches. Pour in the first batch first, then use an electric egg beater to start beating. When small bubbles appear, add the second batch of fine sugar and continue. Dismiss.

12. When lines appear in the protein paste, add the remaining fine sugar and continue to beat.

13. Beat the protein paste until it shows obvious lines. Lift the whisk head and you can pull out straight sharp corners, which is a dry foaming state. Remember not to continue beating to avoid over-beating the protein paste and defoaming.

14. Pour 1/3 of the previous egg yolk paste into the egg white paste.

15. Use a spatula to stir, cut and mix until evenly mixed. In addition to not stirring in circles, you should also pay attention to the technique to be brisk.

16. Add the remaining egg yolk paste and mix well in the same way.

17. Pour into a 6-inch removable bottom mold.

18. Gently shake to release bubbles.

19. Place in the middle rack of the oven preheated to 160 degrees, and bake at 160 degrees for about 35 minutes. The temperature difference in each oven is different, so try to use a thermometer to adjust the temperature difference. In addition, after observing that the surface is evenly colored, it can be taken out of the oven.

20. Turn upside down and let cool completely.

21. After unmoulding and cutting into pieces, you can enjoy this delicacy~
