Pumpkin in the dough..
It is now everywhere, in the recipe magazines on newsstands and in many to read online: pumpkin; the queen of autumn!
A vegetable rich in many beneficial properties and its unique flavor that gives our preparations, both sweet and savory, very special taste notes.
The puree makes the dough soft and melt-in-the-mouth and together with the chocolate it makes them perfect.
Try it in this fluffy cake; one slice leads to another!!!
Once upon a time, sweets were just butter, sugar, flour and eggs.
Today, however, they too have come out of traditional schemes and it is no longer a novelty to see them rich in vegetables.
We all know that vegetables have important percentages of fiber and water but not everyone has thought about how these two simple properties can be used to obtain soft and full-flavored cake bases.
Carrots, tomatoes, onions, squash and zucchini but also aubergines and potatoes are some of the most used vegetables in pastry to give life to cakes, donuts and even ice creams..
The fashion of the moment is to take advantage of seasonal vegetables to get to eat with awareness and avoid waste.
Desserts with vegetables are an alternative that is very popular: those who have included only certain foods in their lifestyle, mothers who are able to make their children eat vegetables by hiding it inside a beautiful chocolate cake, to nutritionists who see less caloric and harmful sweets rise than the classic butter and sugar and to all those who love to experiment and discover new flavors so that eating is always something pleasant, made up of variations and discoveries and never a monotonous, repetitive and tiring act .
