Cooking details
This recipe has been tested in a Newlux 5’5L air fryer. Remember that you can adjust the quantities, times and ingredients to your liking.
We often believe that some foods can only be cooked in a specific way or that they are only intended for savory or sweet recipes, that they cannot be varied. We have all tried pumpkin creams or the typical roasted pumpkin sold in our neighborhood bakeries, even as a side dish, but have you ever thought about making a sponge cake in an air fryer using pumpkin as the main ingredient?
Perhaps not too many people know this, but pumpkin is considered a fruit rather than a vegetable as you might think, as is the case with tomatoes. This food is rich in vitamin C, strengthens our defenses as well as taking care of the cardiovascular system and digestive system. Today we bring you a recipe that will satisfy the palate of those with a sweet tooth and at the same time will be beneficial to our health. Could we ask for more?
Products with which it can be cooked
Ingredients
- task_alt280 g. of wheat flour
- task_alt300 g. pumpkin puree
- task_alt3 eggs
- task_alt150 g. of brown sugar
- task_alt100 ml. of milk
- task_alt80 ml. of mild extra virgin olive oil
- task_alt1 tbsp. of pure cocoa powder
- task_alt1 tbsp. of baking powder
step by step recipe
- To begin, beat the eggs with the sugar in a bowl until they whiten and foam. Then, add the pumpkin puree and mix.
- Next, add the milk and the oil and mix everything until it has a homogeneous texture.
- Then add the sifted flour and the yeast (to avoid any lumps that may form) little by little until everything is well integrated.
- Separate half of the dough into two bowls. The original dough will remain in one bowl and in the other bowl we add the cocoa powder to give it a wonderful chocolate flavor. After this, we mix everything.
- Grease a mold and add the dough in colored layers. First, we pour a little white dough to cover the base. Then, a little chocolate dough in the center, followed by some white dough. This way until all the dough is finished. With this we will achieve the marbling effect once it is cooked.
- Place the mold in the basket of the air fryer and program at 160 ºC for 40 minutes. We prick with a toothpick to check that it is not raw. If necessary, program a few more minutes.
- Remove the mold from the basket and let it warm for 10 minutes, be strong and wait a little or you will burn your tongue.
- Unmold and let cool on a wire rack. If you want, you can decorate it on top as you like. Once it has cooled, just enjoy.
Ingredients
- If we see that the surface of the cake is too browned, we can cover it with a piece of aluminum foil, so it will be done inside and keep a good appearance on the outside.
- - Depending on the mold used, the cooking time will be different. It is important that after 30 minutes we start to check if it is done with the help of a toothpick.
