This pumpkin and chocolate sponge cake that we propose today has a slightly moist texture but it turns out, at the same time, very tender and fluffy. The combination of ingredients is one of our favorites; pumpkin and dark chocolate together are always a success.
We have reduced the amount of sugar from the original recipe notoriously in order to make it healthier. We enjoyed it occasionally so the amount of final sugar is no problem either. A sweet whim from time to time it doesn’t tempt bad!
Making this sponge cake is very simple. You will only need a large bowl and a blender for it. Pumpkin, unlike what happened in other biscuits that we have previously made, is added raw to the dough, so you will not need any previous preparations. Do you dare to do it?
